What will fit??

[Crystal]

Ok guys another question... will a gearbox from a vp or a vn fit into a vr or are the pin connectors different in them??

[wamboin23]

no. VN and VP have no electrical parts inside them. thus no plug.

Holy shit there's a feature called Search

The VR has the electronic version of the 4L60 gearbox which is why it's called 4L60E and has no kickdown cable - VN and VP have a kickdown cable and are 4L60. I think they can be made to fit by the addition of the kickdown cable etc., but there are others on this forum that have better knowledge of this. I think most people just fit another VR box to avoid the hassles....there are plenty around.

I should just copy and paste this so every week when another thread like this comes up I can copy pasta.

I had a look at the link that wraith provided - seems you need the kickdown cable plus a manual ECU so I'd figure it to be a bit of a risk to me unless I could get the box for free....then again if you have access to the original kickdown cable maybe it could be made to fit??? Nothing is impossible. Another problem is that it takes a full weekend of blood sweat and swearing to put the new box in...plus about $60 for oil and filter etc. so it's something you don't want to do again.
Is the old box completely dead?

Also another problem with VR's I found. 2 different gearboxes 4HDD and 5HDD. Holden gearboxes are common so I wouldn't bother trying anything but like for like.

i picked up a vr v6 auto wrecker car with a near recon trans and new radiator online for 500 bucks. i tell you ive gotten heaps of stuff outa it, like the little clips the sun visors clip into.just shit like that. best way to go, thats my opinion anyway

Agrred, and try that when your pushing 70 and lying under the car, your back is killing you and you're covered in oil and crap....you get to wonder "maybe I should have not been such a tight-ass and paid the $700 or so to get a mech to fit it", then reality kicks back in and you mentally convert the $700 to 20+ slabs of icy cold XXXX and it's all worth it. Apart from saving the cash, you can get an immense sense of satisfaction when the job is finished - a bit hard to put a price on that.
