Is there a different Manual trans for a VR 6?

[psychotic46]

Hello, i rekkon im gonna be due for a new trans very soon, i have a VR II 5 speed, it has the stock trans (i dunno what that is tho) borgwarner maybe???
Anywayz my question is: Is there a better trans for the VR 6 manual?
People doing supra 5 speeds is buzzen in my head, but that might be just people talken POO!!!

You either have a Getrag or T5 gearbox.... Easiest way to tell is the Getrag is hydrolic and the T5 is cable...


And you don't need a supra box for a stock 6...or even a slightly modded 6....

If it's a VR, it will be a T5. Getrags didn't come out until VSII on the V6, and VSIII on the V8

Thanks, so if its not highly modified just use a stock then

Well yeah, if it's highly modified id recommend an AUTO box.. Much stronger and quicker down the 1/4 mile for instance.... Im yet to see a top fueler with a 5 speed manual behind its engine

Its taken me a few years to admit it to myself but auto's are much better especially when it comes to forced induction applications.... Always on boost

Really? i thought all the sports cars like jap and Euro were all manuals or flappy semi auto's or something? But yeah i learnt at Tafe that an auto box was the fasted way to get down the 1/4, its a hard choice tho, Fun and games in a manny tranny, or blow off the line in an auto and leave for dead! But thankyou for ya advise im only looken for a nice looken daily, maybe to have a little fun in a corner or 2, i am fond of manual for the car connection....sounds weird but its more satisfiying to drive!

Not really a hard choice, do you like corrners or just going stright for 1/4 mile.... 2nd sounds boring to me but eh its what you want.

I have little to know interest in going down the 1/4, but take the car to the track so a 6 speed manual it was for me
