Disconnecting battery

Hi there, I am about to replace the autobox in my 24v Cossie with a manual gearbox and before I start, I just wanted to check if there will be any issues in store if I simply disconnect the battery while I carry out the conversion. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Just the radio code, you may need to reprogramme the remote once you're done. (if you have one)

Ha ha, that I can handle. It's the PATS system that had me a little worried. Cheers.

Hi Matt, I'm using an MT75 from a 2.5 TD and also have the diff to throw in as well if it's still not geared right. Just modifying the bellhousing to take a hydraulic bearing and will use the flywheel and pressure plate from the Sierra 2.8 4x4 I have. As for the clutch, I have a brand new 2.5 TD one sat on the shelf gathering dust so will see if that fits.

you may find you have the same problems that i have with my clutch, which is 1. the clutch friction plate rattles when idling as its not dampened enough for a v6 engine 2. my spring plate doesn't seem to be man enough for the job if you want a quick get away (im using an escort cossie clutch) works no problems under normal driving but if you puch it hard it slips a bit, but then it wasnt designed for the 24v's brute power lol
