VS Super6 Utility 5 speed
VR motor is different to VS ecotec motor. I know the VS model has two different VSS (Vehicle Speed sensor) comparing auto to manual. The auto is an inductive pickup design and manual is a hall effect.

Lets see....because I already own an auto VS that is the colour I want and has some mods done to the engine so if possible I'd like to keep this one and not buy another one. I'm not an expert on these cars so thats why I'm asking

good one. you try finding a manual vr!!

anyway if the car is a vr model try a vn or vl manual but remember to get a custom loom or at least a tech book so you can rewire properly. cost all depends on how much work you do and how much you can pick up a gearbox for.

best of luck

At the top of this page there is a SEARCH funcion.

If that doesn't help go to google.

THEN come here and ask.

i know someone that spent over $4000 converting their VS Calais (v8) to a manual. "Thought" about it myself, but when i found out how much she paid for it........ Didn't think it was worth it

ditto, buy another car and transfer the mods over.
