hi,

Quick qu...

Will a box from a pre-facelift 320 fit ok onto a facelift 2.5? I understand that the pre-facelift has two box sensors and that i can just bung one of those up? Presume the flywheel, clutch etc from the 320 will be ok aswell?

Cheers

Think the Pre facelift can be used in a facelift, just need two blanking plugs for where the censors were/are.
Stand to be corrected though.

Thats true but if a face lift box is going for £25 might as well take the right box for the job :D

cheers guys. Sounds like it should all be ok. Do I use the 2.0 flywheel etc?

Rav/Town325 - I'm actually trying to source the parts for a manual conversion at the same time as fitting the engine so if you have any bits as well as the box drop me a pm. Cheers

I've got a 320 auto and a 2.5 engine so need a manual box and conversion parts. What selector parts are you talking about?!
