VK MC6 to M76 Conversion

[VK SL 3800]

HI
Just thought id put up the few minor differences between the Mc6 Phillipino and M76 Borgwarner when your doing a conversion like i did.....

-Speedo cable- completely different at gearbox end.
-Tailshaft- front half is shorter, rear half is identical.
-Clutch dust cover- just simply different.
-Lower gear boot.
-Upper gear boot- (can still use the MC6 one though)
-The top boot you see can be used with either gearbox.
-And obviously the gearstick is different
-Gearstick knob- sounds stupid to add but the thread sizes are completely different and i didnt have a suitable gear knob for it.

All the other stuff is the same eg.
-Clutch
-Gearbox mount/ cross member.
-The plate riveted onto the transmission tunnel.
-Clutch cable
-Lower bell housing cover.
-center console etc etc

I also done this conversion when I had my VK. Sounds spot on to me, and the gear knob is a good mention, the M76 ones seem to rare as hens teeth unless you go aftermarket.

I would first check a local wrecker as i know there is a vk with a 5 speed at my wreckers. Next time i have a look under my car i check what the prefix on the sticker on its speedo cable is so if you see one on ebay you can identify it easier.

Try Flexible Drive Agencies. I have had a few V6 conversion speedo cables done by them.
