5spd to 6spd
I would like opinions on this please.
I want to change from auto to manual.
1.) is it possible
2.) has anyone here done this?
and roughly what $$ would i be looking at.
hope someone can give me some pointers.
and yes i know, use active select and i do use it but id rather the manual.
and would i need to change the stearing wheel aswell or can you just disable to active select.
let us know.
thanks
6 speed
yes its possible, i don't know anyone personally thats done it but there surely would be someone.
$$$ - not sure
and you can keep your steering wheel.
Chev badges are an instant fail
HSV, i just want one
have a chat to "andyman"..on this forum hes just finished a conversion from 4 spd to 6spd manual, not sure what dollars he spent but it would be up there..he has pictures and details in his ride thread, look in the VZ section..barbados blue wagon.

haha money, yeah not going to go into that subject, LOLOriginally Posted by Escape-The-Fate
the wiring harness on the 5sp autos is different under the dash,so i guess yes it can be done, but it would require a lot more effort and money,
4sp auto and 6sp manual share the same harness

Looks like it'll be alot cheaper and easier to sell and buy a manual...

in a sedan yes,
if you want a manual wagon...... well you gotta spend to reap the rewards

hmm well, 1500 for the box and other parts,
1430 for h/d clutch and solid flywheel
860 for tail shaft
probably another 400 in other parts

thats not as bad as i thought haha..that price is actually pretty appealing..i thought maybe 5-6k..did you pick the box up cheap or is 1500 a fair price?

i got my gearbox and all conversion parts for 1500 which is cheap, wreckers want anything from 3-4k, but you have to add clutch, which is anything from 1500 - 2500, i get special prices, the one i got normally retails for 2100,
possibly tailshaft depending on the wheelbase the box came out of,
i have a manual sedan tailshaft sitting here if you want to buy it...

all good mate, just interesting to know prices and stuff..in the long run i think it would be easier to sell and upgrade to a sv6 or a ss from an exec

How come so much for the tailshaft? What had to be done?
The Only 6sp VZ Wagon
the 4sp auto tailshaft cant be split, it was too much trouble getting something made up and could possibly create problems, so i bit the bullit and bought a new one

In view of the longer wheelbase on the wagons, which tailshaft did you have to buy? What has a manual and the long wheelbase - Crewman?

nope live axle models are different again,
wagon and ute is the same
