I have asked a lot of people about this,,,,I have a VT 5ltr with a 5sp GETRAG,,(Good box when working)but the input shaft bearing has **** itself,the gearbox shop has told me it would be worth putting a bearing kit through the whole box.....I almost fell over at the quotes I was getting,so I looked into fitting a T5,castlemaine rod shop do a bellhousing and v8 input shaft....With mine being a vt I would have to change the tailshaft,clutch operation as the vt is hydrolic,as to the t5 being cable,there is some minor things I have forgotten.....But still cheaper than the $2500 they want to fix the getrag
