Stage 3 Shift Kitted Auto
T5 Manual

VS: Stage 3 Shift Gear vs. Manual Conversion?
hey all, i have a standard vs v6 auto which is my daily drive and i want to make it more enjoyable to drive. i can the gearbox converted over to a t5 manual unit for approximately $500 (parts only, got a mate who can do the labour for me). my question is, will the manual conversion be more fun on a street car or will a stage 3 shift kit be more fun? what would be faster?

the manual should be faster, more economical and fun than the auto. IMO auto's are crap and unreliable and expensive to fix.

are you still thinking of buying my T5 kit?

autos are stronger in most cases, all seriou drag cars use autos, my mates vq v8 has stage 2, and thats a ball to drive, stick with shift kit, cause with thet5, youl need heavy duty clutch after a while, takes its toll on your tail shaft if you abuse it, and autos better when u cbf driving, shift kit can be kind of tame in drive, and when you put it in first and shift for it, shifts ALOT harder, i say go auto, autos faster in newer cars these days, up to you, i like my kitted auto's

chrisdoesitbetter, i probably wont be buying your kit as i have found someone who has offered me the bulk of it for $300. all i need to buy separately is the ecu, loom and a new flywheel.

If you are after strength,go for a manualised auto box.Manual boxes dont like big horsepower and tend to fail quickly when used hard behind a good engine.
how much do u want for it coz my auto is on its way out

You can have it for $1100 mate

ill go for a manual then. i wont be running huge horsepower number anytime soon. i will probably do a l67 conversion when the funds allow but i would only do basic mods to it so the t5 should hold up behind it

in short, far too much. its something crazy like $1000 at some places here in adelaide. you can get whole conversion kits for that....
manual commodores are so rare ... its sad really.

yeah i know, the only easily available manual commodores are utes or v8s. plus its a pain trying to find all the parts for a manual conversion, hence why there are so many shift kitted autos....
