Hi again I want to run a T56 instead of the T5 just wondering what dramas I will have with shifter and cross member location
and would have to change flywheel I guess and am I right in thinking the BA box will bolt to my AU block

I assume you have a 4.0L?
The shifter will be a little further back, but in a good spot. You will need to fab up a cross member, or Mal Wood Auto make one, along with a mount change. All bolt in!!.
You will not need to change your flywheel. You will need to convert to hydraulic clutch operation though.
Also, for the speedo, I believe you use x2 JayCar speedo correctors off the abs module, right rear sensor from memory.

You don't need the ratio box and patch harness, as there is no speedo output on the box.
As I said before, you need x2 JayCar speedo correctors for the speedo to work.
