im toying with the idea of dropping a manual box into my v6 acclaim. i have a mate who works for holden and says he can get me the parts and fit them for about 4k+/- i dont really wanna spend that much however it is still cheeper than trading mine for a manual, VXs with the same feature set as mine etc r still goin for like 16-20k by the looks of it
im thinking about looking around wreckers to see if i can get parts cheeper, what i was wondering was what manual gearbox is in the v6 commodores? what clutch? is there a specific one?
what diff should i be looking out for? im guessing the tailshaft has to be changed?
now the car has cruise control so what do i have to do with this to make it compatible?
does the chip or computer have to be changed?
does anyone by odd chance have any of these parts they have swapped in their car?
im guessing the console has to be changed over also?
if i cant find any of these bits at the wreckers is there anywhere in melb that sell reco parts?
as i said, im just toying with the idea, but i really do want a manual VX
cheers
