Mate has an ej ute and he wanted to know if the tunnels in the body for the gearbox were different on and auto and a manual from the factory (no modifications). He has had 2 people say they are different and 2 people have told him thats complete bullshit they came out the same. Can someone please verify which one is correct and any other information that may be useful to him.
thanks.

The sedans are different and i would assume the ute used a sedan floor pan so you would think they would be different as in the sedan,will make a call when he answers his phone

"The front ones. The only ones available are manual floor pans, and EH auto front floor pans are very different in shape and ribs."

His is an EJ
Questions kinda across the board with both of them.

Yea well the guy we saw today at the ej ej show in canberra was certain that the tunnel on the automatics wer larger than the ones on the manual then he gets another guy saying the same then 2 others tell him its a load of crap.
Kinda hard to figure something out when you have so many people telling you different things.
They also said you can fit a supra in the automatic stock standard cars with out modifications but the manual ones you needed to modify (not sure if this was ute sedan or wagon)
thanks

OK in the sedan the auto's rear cross member has 3 bolts that bold up into the floor on either side and the tunnel is flatter on top and wider,so as stated earlier i would assume the ute would be the same but then again ????? lol

Im pretty sure the auto tunnel is bigger.
Theres a lot of differences between the EH and EJ comercials,besides one being grey motor and the other a red.
Scuttle is different,fuel filler (EJ has a door),the trim on the ends of the dash.
Lots of subtle differences.

Auto transmission tunnel is larger, & yes, will allow a Supra box to be fitted without modifications. Been there, done that.

I am pretty sure you will find the ute uses a wagon floor.
yes auto and manual cars had different floor pans.
If you use an auto car you can bolt aussie 4 speed or trimatic straight in a and use the original tailshaft.

same problem with celica 5 speed boxs, they foul the floor and and also hit on starting motor..
i heated up floor pan and modified to suit...
also seen 4 speeds into a 3 speed tunnels but lots on cutting braces down and rewelding
braces to pass rego, best to start with auto floor pan........love me ehs!!!
