Anyone know if the gearboxes/transfer is the same length between both and will bolt into a GV?

5sp auto would be nice but I think there'd be wiring that would need to be done?

Cheers

EVERY XL-7 swap is going to require wiring - the PCM (powertrain control module) needed for the engine & transmission also controls the transfer case and will also be looking for the BCM - so expect to have some challenges.

Ok, well I'll be dropping a h27a in at the same time, does that change anything if i put the xl7 ecu in as well?

Buy a complete XL7 and do a motor, auto and wiring harness swap.

Body loom should be ok ...... maybe

Then send auto, wiring harness and ecu for the 2.5 up here.

Does your car have ABS?

The XL-7 has a few more things such as G sensor and all the control modules talk together including the immobilizer which share a specific code (without it engine wont start)

Not sure what effect not having ABS will have, something hopefully the service manual will shine some light on .

But from what i get out of the SDT is that the ECU/AT talk to each other and ABS is separate only thing that is similar is the Brake switch. Plus XL-7 and later Grand vitaras have a torque converter lock that is activated in low range.

Cant fit gears in a 5 speed auto

Nup no ABS. Anyone got a link to the service manual of the xl7?

That's awesome it has a torque converter lockup in low.

Sweet, was having a look at 5 spd but thought it would be too much work.
