vr manual conversion question

[giffo2010]

hey,
i have a vr auto and i am looking at converting it to manual,
i wanted to just find a vr manual and swap everything over but they are really hard to find.
can i use any older model commodores like vn, vp ect?
and just get my ecu retuned.
does anyone know how the car performs after a conversion?

yeah i hav seen that how to but it doesn't say where to get the parts, like what model cars u can use for vr

Pretty much all of the borg warner t5 boxs that came in that era of commodores. Take your pick really. Just becarful you dont get a flywheel off a series 1 VN.

ok thanks so i should be alright with picking up a vp or series 2 vn?

Yep. running gear is the same. You wont be able to use the ecu out of them though. You will need to get someone to retune yours for manual. Theres a few guys on here that do it.
