5speed change

[madsav]

can a vs 5 speed gearbox bolt up to a vp motor both from a V6

dpends on really if its a t5 or getrag though you could make the getrag work but it'd easier with a t5

[VrWagz1]

as said will work, but if its a getrag you'll need a hydraulic clutch pedal box

[madsav]

well i have the full conversion from my auto gearbox to 5speed, just needed to know if the box will bolt to the motor

[Haydz]

vs series 1 or 2?

series 2 will be a getrag. which are known to have reliabiltiy issues.

a t5 from a series 1 will last you alot longer and also work better with your engine

[madsav]

Also since im changing from auto to manual, will i have to change the pacemaker link pipe for the exaust?

[Morton]

Yup, chances are the y-piece will be the wrong shape. I know mine was, but then I just "cohersed" it around the X member.

You can buy another y-piece from Pacemaker fairly cheaply I think

[madsav]

[Morton]
