Hi am a swapping a 2.0 auto for a 2.5 switchable auto.
Is it a straight swap of engine and boxe. If not then please can you let me know what else needs changing. 2.5 has the sport setting. new to all of this so any help is appreciated.

Switchable auto has an ECU in the boot, behind the trim the jack sits on. Also prop shaft is a different length and I assume the main ECU will need changed also. You'll need the handbrake console with the switch for the interior and you may need some extra loom sections to tie it all together. I think the interior selector may also be different as I think all switchable have a cable selector instead of a lever.

You'll need a different diff ratio to do it properly.

If it's not a cabby or touring, you'll need front struts, dampers, ARBs, springs, possibly rear disc conversion - there's probably more....

Use the 2.0 box. Then you don't have to swap wiring,props etc. mine does 70mph at 3200 ish rpm.

Why would those front suspension parts not work with an M20b25?
