The T5's from au v8 onwards are stonger then earlier versions. They'rer the strongest passenger vehicle T5 to be made globally and use a hardened mustang gear clusters for both main/layshaft.

from what iv'e been led to beleive in pretty much every model ford, holden or valiant from early ones to late ones the six cylinder boxes have a shorter front shaft, if you don't already have a box buy the right one, but if you do alrady have a box ring castlemaine rod shop they will meke a bellhousing to mount a six box to a V8 for about 3-400 dollars

1998 EL XR8 serII MANUAL

Hey guys, I bought a t5 tremtec gearbox that came out an 6cyl AU falcon, I was told it would fit my EL xr8 but apparently it won't because the input shaft is to small. What should I do? I already have the v8 bellhousing. So I don't want to go castlemaine. Can I just change the input shaft and the gears? Can I put new v8 gears and shaft into 6cyl box? Any help would be much appreciated.
