manual conversion

[a6491]

Hey, I have a 96 VS Equipe. and am contemplating buying a t5 gearbox. Just wondering whats needed for a compete conversion?

the one i'm lookin at has the following:

T5 gearbox
crossmember
clutchfork
bellhousing
ECU
peddles
console surrounding
clutch cable
clutch, pressure plate (worn so i'll buy a new one)

Just wondering what else is needed to complete the manual conversion? and flywheel.. what sorta flywheel can i use in a T5 gearbox? (excuse my n00byness) but i'm learning as I go here.. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

A tail shaft, I know on VR's you had to change the whole engine harness too not sure bout the VS
As for the flywheel you will just need the standard v6 ecotec flywheel.
Have a look round on ebay there is normally some conversion kits on there

oh yeah, forgot to mention, tailshaft is included.. and yeah.. i'm not sure what sorta flywheel to get though.. there are brand names such as exedy etc etc.. Am I better off buying clutch kit with flywheel? (mind you they're like $900)

What for? the only difference is the speed sensor
