vs commodore
Did the box that you fitted have the same number of pins in the electrical connector as the box that was removed?All these transmissions are the same as in they will bolt up no worries,but the electrical connector can be different,some only have 12 pins in the connector,and others have 13 pins.The VS needs the 13 pin connector on the trans,the VR used only 12 pins.I know that if they arent right it will set error codes..im not exactly sure what codes will set though.....
