Hey Mate

I got a quote ajez ago, and to convert a VY to manual was going to cost me about 3k with parts and labour, so yeah its easier to jsut wait and find a Manual commodore, it took me 3 months to find mine and loving it everyday i drive it...

lucky you guys found one. the auto is really sluggish and its gettin to me but i dont really want to sell it until i find something a lot better

def. buy manual.. i wanted same for my vs ute. mate of mine is head mechanic at a holden dealership.. said the job is a pig and will cost heaps. Mine was a column shift which meant a whole lot more to do without centre console already there like complete new wiring looming etc... but even with centre shift seems all too hard.

but if i buy a new car im not gonna get a ecotec again im prolly gonna get a 6sp 5.7 vt or somethin similar

Just find a manual SS then. Or even a VT Exec with a GenIII and 6 speed.


Its funny, from new, automatic cars cost more, yet in the 2nd hand market, the 'rare' manuals fetch more.....

theres not many exec with 5.7 6sp though vtss will have to be the way to go.haha rare manual i havent gone to many dealers which havent got a huge rare manual sticker on the window
