Does a vt box fit in vs
hi there i just got the bad news that i need a new gear box. i currently have a v6 ecotec 95 model and wanted to find out if a vt auto box will bolt straight up to it or do i have to change to many things? if some one has done it let me know

Same transmission but the bell housing is different. I don't think the exhaust would fit.
its an ecotec.. theyre all the same.. for instance trans out of a l67 will bolt straight up aswellOriginally Posted by Not_An_Abba_Fan
what about the electrical side of it tho do they connect the same
VS had a 1 piece bell housing with beaming braces. VT had a seperate bellhousing that bolts on with beaming braces. VY has a seperate bell like the VT but no beaming braces due to the VY modified sump design.
Yes the L67 and Ecotec box are the same, the converter is not however.
Also the VS has a different selector shaft to the VT/X/Y boxes.
It can be done but probably cheaper and easier to get a VS eco or l67 wrecker special and throw that in with a flush
VYII Calais L67
learn something new everyday
and im running a vy ecotec trans behind the l67, vy converter aswell manly cos the original has a bolt blocked snapped off...
but i havnt noticed any difference to be honest, stall to same rev, launches the same etc
help me out guys what is a l67?
i spoke to the wreckers today and he said to just put a vt box in it cause it just bolts straight up and all i should have to do is move the exhaust pipe a fraction. but when i saw the box it looks different to mine at the end where you put the tail shaft? he only wants 275 for that and every one else wants 500 for a vs box

L67 is the supercharged version of the ecotec.
oh ok. so the box from my 95 vs would be the same as a s/c ecotec 95 vs. i was told today that there is i a difference in early vs box to later model vs box and that was that the later model box ran a 13 pin plug and the early one only runs a 12 pin
All vs tranny have 13 pins on it regardless if it is early or late model, 12 pins are vr, also the extension housing speed sensor is on the right side, for vr its other way.
just wanted to post that you can put a vt or vx gearbox in a vs. all that has to be done is to take a section out of the bellhousing where the drivers side exhaust pipe runs past and take off the mounting brackets off the top at rear and box will go in.
is this the same as if i had a vt motor and auto package? to go in my vs ute and i got hi-tech headders anyone able to help with what to do

does fit. had one in mine for about a year but now converting to manual had to cut a slice out of the bell housing to fit exaust and also had an exaust leak for the 12 months no exaust place could get to work lol
