    Ok, i got a VX 2002 5spd...
    Thats got a POS weak Getrag gearbox in it yeah??
    This site has its facts f*cked up and recons that commodores ran the Getrag up until the VT and then VX onwards ran the T5...
    I thought the T5 was the older holden gearbox..?

    as Airstarike said, T5 from vn to vs series I was T5.
    The getrag is not that bad, mine work okay for me? Better ratios for a start, except i recon the 5th gear in the T5 was a better ratio than the getrag one.
