i can get a complete T5 removed from a vn
will this fit into my VS ?
if not what is needed to get the job done?
thanks a million guys
most of it will fit what you'll need for your VS is a VS manual wiring loom and ecu. You will also need an VS T5 Ecotec Flywheel. You'll find these 2 are the hardest parts to find and the most expensive

Being a manual already you wont need wiring loom or ecu (at least i assume theyd be the same whether its a t5 vs or getrag) So you'll need to find a t5 flywheel as getrags use a different one. You'd also need to change tailshaft yoke pedal box and remove the clutch Master cylinder. You need to change gearbox mount i assume and will need the manual short loom that connect to the reverse light and speed sensor wiring.
It may be more trouble than its worth and i might have missed a few things along the way someone may help clarify some points about the conversion

can a vn manual box bolt up to say a vt ?
im learning know i would need a different flywheel and clutch conversion, just wondering about the actual bolt hole pattern on the bellhousing. cheers
