    Default Manual Gearbox

    Hi all,

    Just asking if anyone knows an estimate of $$$$ i will have to fork out to get a recon manual gearbox and installation for my vn currently an auto. I have been quoted about $1700 for the auto. Also how much for a quickshift.

    I have the standard auto box at the moment and it has nearly died - have to park downhill or it wont change gears for about 30-60sec, overdrive kicks in at 80kph but then disengages at 100kph, and the usual delayed reverse.

    Much appreciated

    depending on what series it is....
    you will be looking at about the same for a recon manual if not more than auto.
    your best bet is to find a wrecked VN 5 speed,or a damaged drivable one so as you can hear the gearbox working ,and swap everthing over...if you have a series one VN your looking at any where from $1200-$1500 to convert,including adaptor or a specially made flywheel from CRS.
    if you have a series 2 it may become cheaper as the boxes bolt straight up to a series 2 auto crank.
