wikky, thing is prices change.

vyssute01, what sort of setup were you thinking of getting? What gearbox? What clutch kit?

hey mate, prob not much help but i would *hazard* a guess at the 5 grand mark. You are probably better off selling your ute and buying a manual one if you can, in saying that, it can and has been done many times though.

yeah thanks for the help..might be saving a while for that one lol.. shift kit is looking pretty good i reckon

For a T56 (What the SS's use) you can pick up a whole kit for just over $2k used. Then you just need a clutch and pressure plate (your pick). Plus fitting. Works out a bit cheaper than my conversion because you can use the V8 flywheel.

That's the 6 speed manual, definatly will go alright!

There is also changes to be made to the wiring & the tune. As stated earlier this is a common conversion that most decent shops would have done previously. It would be best if you pick up the phone & get quotes that way.

a friend was quoted around $2.5k for a manual conversion in a silvia. But it can be done for around $1.5k without labor if you know the right people. I'm guessing it would be cheaper for the Commodore.
