    Talking v6 to v8 gear box question

    i was looking at a vs SS v8 sedan 2 day and it is auto so i am wondering if it is possible to take the 5 speed manual out of my vs v6 Ute and put it in?
    if so is there much involved like conversion wise or is it and straight bolt up? also what is invoked?




    cheers

    Assuming it's a T5 then don't bother. You would need to change the bellhousing, input shafts, flywheel and clutch just for starters.
