I have many questions but I’ll start simpleXf to ba t5 will bolt up, you could use a ba or au bellhousing, au will let you use a cable clutch ba bell housing you will have to use a hydraulic throw out bearing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackL 47 Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Very good info thanks guys. So what box would you recommend for an xb? I should say what box would fit best in there for shifter position. Behind a Barra of course Edited August 29, 2018 by JackL Stupidity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Behind a Barra of courseAnd xf to el t5 will land the shifter in basically the same place as a single rail (minimal trimming if at all for the shifter to come out of the stock hole) but you do want to avoid xf and ea t5's as they are made of glass compared to later boxes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
