hey fellas i have two questions im looking for an answer for.
1. would a BA/F 6 speed manual fit up okay with an AU? 2. is it possible to have BA keys working with the AU? i know they seem pretty basic questions but im wanting an AU 2 forte manual, but ive been searching for a while and they're hard to find so im thinking of just grabbing an Auto and doing the conversion. cheers |

Mal is a top bloke. I've had dealings with in the past.
He is the best and I have to say at this point his prices reflect this. He is prob the dearest around but he built me a 5 speed many moons ago that never let go and I was throwin 600+hp at it on a daily basis. So well worth the money as far as I'm concerned. |

For your initial questions:
1) No (well, not without heaps of cash put it that way) 2) No

from mal woods website its around 6k or more for the 6 speed manual conversion
if your just after a tough box take a stock T5 to Hart Transmissions at Brendale and they will recon it for $1800ish and it will handle 400+hp no worries (called a T5G box and they have a few kicking around behind a few race car motors and other modified street cars)

the keys are the same for the AU2/3 and the BA but the keypads for opening the doors are different and not interchangable
