Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / January 2004EA Gearbox Change
Just a quick question. Will an XF gearbox fit nicely into an EA II, or will it need any modifications to make it fit. Thanks Dutchey you want to change a 4 speed for a 3 speed ? > Just a quick question.

The 3 speed is more reliable, and cheaper to fix. the 4 speed wont make much difference in use around town. The 4 should deliver economy differences on the highway though.

I thought my mums was a 4 speed and they went to a 3 speed at the start of the EA's, but mine is a series 2 where they changed back. Is this right or wrong. Want to change it as mine is clunking mainly in top gear, and mums is working perfect, so a cheap fix. By the way, mum just bought an EL, so the XF is now sitting there.

The XF had a 3spd auto which continued on to the series 1 EA. SII EA got the 4spd auto, the first 3 ratios are the same in both boxes and iirc they both use the same diff ratio so no problems there with the conversion. In the early 4spd auto days cabbies converted back to the 3spd auto as it was $3K+ to rebuild the 4spd vs around $600 for the 3spd, i'd call an auto trans co and ask them how much to do the conversion. Thanks Kieron for that info, just what I needed to know. Wade > >Thanks for the info guys.
