I've got a VT S1 Automatic v6. The car rumbles a lot which seems to be coming from the gearbox, the car plays up in 4th. It will click into 4th gear but only if I keep the revs at 2000rpm, if I go any higher, it will go back into 3rd to about 3500-4000rpm. What's wrong?

I'd replace all the panels other than the roof in that case. I'm really starting to get frustrated with my car, the problem is that I'm a P-plater with not much money and no job. I've done a engine transplant on my car, the new engine only having done 80,000km. First test of the new engine...

So it would require welding to fit back on? I could take them off, but how much would that cost to be done properly? Would it be cheaper to replace all the panels except the roof, and get that painted separately?

My VT Commodore had a lot of dints in it; left and right rear guards both bent in, some hail damage and stone chips at the front. It also has that crap maroon color. I've found a white VT Commodore wrecking with all the panels in good condition. I'm thinking of making an offer for all the...

bump......

When I flat foot on gears 1, 2 or 3 the car will lost power and momentarily stop accelerating. When trying to go from third to fourth the car red-lines as if it slips into neutral and goes back into third. You have to release the gas to stop it from revving. The reverse gear is working...

In this thread I mentioned that my VT commodore had broken down: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vt-vx-holden-commodore-1997-2002/123537-can-anyone-help-out-engine-transplant.html Eventually I just ended up getting a mechanic too install the engine (about 6 weeks ago). The engine was fitted...

How much for one rear power window switch and the power steering pump?

In where? anyone got the thread link?

Hey everyone, Last night my car was broken into through the small, left rear-quarter window. It seems as if you can just get a flathead screwdriver in there and pull the window out, judging by the way I put it back in. I was lucky in this instance, the thief then reached in to open the door...

I wouldn't ever use the under car lights unless the car is parked. By under dash and seat lights, here's an example: Here's what the interior should turn out like: *except the pink lighting being blue ;)

I've got VX GTS rims on the car already. I was planning on accenting it by replacing lights with blue: Roof light - Blue globes Under seat/dash blue cold cathodes Possibly blue LED strips on the underside (2 fast 2 furious) What does JC think?

I wouldn't be 100% on this but wouldn't the white leather seats get filthy?

I'm thinking of making my VT Berlina completely white, by completely I mean: Car body painted white Dash painted white White instrument cluster White leather seater covers: LEATHER SEAT COVER HOLDEN VL,VN,VP,VR,VS,VT,VX,VY,VZ,VE - eBay Seats, Interior, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes...

Also interested in the manual here. I got a VT Berlina 130k on engine, 220k on the body. Interested? I'm in the ACT.

I'm in Lyons, canberra. It would be great if you could help out. It would be good if there was a colour picture guide to removing an ecotec engine from a commodore so I will take pics along the way while doing it.

I bought the Gregorys VT service/repair manual today, but I'm sort of dissapointed because I couldn't find steps for removing the engine and have been told that the Holden CD service manual has this.

I might go pickup a gregorys one tomorrow then. Supercheap is having a 20% off everything sale again tomorrow :)

Does that have engine removal as well? Also does it have sketches or pictures?

Still lacking knowledge and experience like me. hahah. I have the VT service manual CD but it's hard to understand and navigate through. I'm buying the Haynes VT repair manual book so hopefully that one is a little easier to follow.

I think I saw your car parked out in Amaroo a couple of weeks ago...

Mods, please move this if it's not in the right forum. My car brokedown, and the engine is seized up, so a bought a VT ecotec for wrecking. It has a perfectly good engine and an aftermarket alarm system in it. What I need done? -Remove engine from my VT ecotec -Move engine from wrecking...

What can i do to get my engine running again?

So does that mean I need to replace the engine?

I forgot to ask, does anyone have a download link to the VT Commodore Service manual? CD or PDF Sorry for the double post.

Well the engine was overheating before and when it broke down. I thought it was just a faulty thermostat that I was going to have replaced soon, as the engine temperature would rise from normal to hot then to normal in a space of about 20 seconds. I did pull over about 20km into the trip as...

I was driving to Yass from Canberra to pickup something with a trailer. On the way I heard a ticking sound that I though was coming from the trailer, but it turns out it was coming from under the bonnet. So I kept driving along and after driving for 50km/s the engine lost power and shut off. I...

How much for just the master switch then?

I got these rims + tyres; http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/attachments/show-off-your-project/50370d1213705569-matts-holden-commodore-image010.jpg They're 18's.

how much for the master and rear power window switches?

Hey mate, how much for postage to canberra for the sports muffler? It's <20kg so it's auspost friendly...

I'd probably take the bucket seats for 200. Do they come with racing belts?

I'd be interested in the racing seats, don't know why I would need SS seats coz my cars not an SS (ricer?)

I just bought a sony double din head unit off the local classifieds, the problem is that it didn't come with the cage. I called the guy up who sold it to me and said he didn't have it (maybe the reason he sold it?) So I've been told I either need to order one from sony or buy a universal cage...

whats the model number?

I own a 97' VT Berlina. When I attempt to do a burnout in it (i know how to do burnouts), you hear the engine but the rear wheels wont spin. A mate told me that the rear brakes might be too strong and that I can get a second brake to go beside the handbrake that will only pull the brakes for...
