auto to manual conversion questions

[Greggles_VS]

That's cool but that's easy to convert from Vr to vn rather than doing the vs, vs cannot have the Buick motor as emmission standards won't comply, and my pcm runs to my auto trans. Sucks but gotta do what gotta do

I have a T5 behind the ecotec in my VR good combination! Oh and if you do the swap please try and find another diff with shorter gears as the manual is slightly less cool with auto diff gears...

Manual - auto have the same diff ratio.

Manual - auto have the same diff ratio.

Really? Oh god, never owned a car that had same diff ratio between auto n manual. So these are meant to have a pretty much inusable 5th gear that sucks.

They still cruise at a lower RPM than any other manual car I can think of.

That's what I mean 2000 rpm in 5th for 100 i'm used to 3-3500 rpm at 100.

You definitely had the wrong diff gears my auto sits at 2000 rpm at 110 and an old for I converted to manual would sit at 110 at 2000 rpm after the conversion

mine sits at 2000 rpm for 100ish now. I'm just used to owning cars that factory had 3.73 to 4.11 gears in the rear of them. Is they're any v8 diffs or any models that I could buy a disc to disc set up of that would have 3.45-3.7s? Or are all nineties commodores 3.08s?
