VS BUCKET Manual Conversion

[Captian Soup]

Manual boxes don't have torque converters, only autos. Manual tailshaft from VN-VS can be used. Not sure about VS S2.

Exhaust might not be a problem as the auto boxes are wider, but I've never done this conversion.

hmmm ok thanks

Some T5's are different. I had to change my exhaust. Just put a VP Y pipe in and added another hole for the second 02 sensor.

And starter motor, you need a manual starter mote.

hmm, not going to be as quick of a project as i presumed gona be awsome once its done non the less. cheers for all the input guys, jonah. its little things like knowing that the starter moters are different that will be the most golden, id hate to get it all together and then have to wait a month for one

Have you got a flywheel yet? If its not off a ecotec you will have to balance it. you will need an 8 bolt one

BTW I got mine done in one day, so should be able to do it within in a weekend easy.

Yeah you need 8bolt, you can use an adapter but its a bit of a waste of time tbh

What about drilling a 6bolt flywheel? Iv heard of it being done.. i just cant find a 8bolt flywheel at a reasonable price..cheapst i found was 500 for a secnd hand flywheel is ###n ridiculus when i paid 600 for a gearbox. Where as there a clutch and flywheel on trademe for 200..

Regarding the tailshaft, I just used the yoke I got off eBay. So just changed the yokes to suit.
