Hey guys, I have blown the gearbox on my VS, and as I don't have the time to fix it up, I have decided to sell it as it is. If anyone is interested in buying it, please let me know. Car still moves, but making a horrible noise from the gearbox when the clutch is disengaged.

Very nice work mate:spot on:shame about the gearbox...

Sad to see you lost interest in it Ben, such a great build with some pretty serious numbers. On the plus side though, I see you have a nice L67 VY :spot on:

Ok, having been there before, just go with a heavy duty clutch and not a button. Honestly, I feel that you need to keep the clutch the "weak link", or you will start turning T5's into scrap metal pretty quickly. Having said that, I had a T5 behind my L67 for probably 5 years making 200rwkw and never had a drama with the box, but I had some mechanical sympathy for it (no high rev clutch dumps, burnouts etc.) and it was in a light car which was it's saving grace IMO. Also, as Immortality said, you need to have the flywheel mirror balanced to the l67 flex plate or you will run into dramas with vibrations.

Manual V6's ran dowels in the crank, but I never ran them in mine and never had a problem, but it can't hurt to have them in there. You must replace the flywheel bolts as they're torque to yield bolts.

I can't think of anything else at the moment, but if you have any questions I'm happy to answer them as I've been through all this before.

Hi mate I'm in the middle of converting my supercharged vy to a t5 manual but need a bit of help I don't know ow what to get eg, vn or vy clutch/flywheel and how did yous go about the tailshaft I got told would need a custom one made please help

You will need to get a ecotec VS-VY clutch/flywheel but make sure you get a solid flywheel and not one of those fancy dual mass POS units.
