    Hey guys my names Shaun.

    I've got a manual vs commodore and the gearbox is rooted.
    It's a cable clutch.
    I was wondering what options on manual gearboxes do I have to replace it with?

    Hope someone can help.
    Thankyou in advance!

    Nope not at all all the gearbox where the same same bolt patter same shift pattern same plug connections as long as its the same as your meaning Borg Warner or getrag those where the only two if the ute is a Colum shift then ther may be difference as long as it Is the normal floor shift it can work from sedan ute wagon is fine
