03 Commodore vy ss
Hey all first time posting thought i might post a thread, might of already been asked but couldn't find anything, i have a 03 vy ss which is auto and i know i could sell it and buy a manual but the manuals have gone up in price so i probably wouldn't bother so i thought i would ask does anyone know in Sydney that would do a manual conversion i know there not cheap either i have asked some places but unfortunately they do not do conversions.

Do it yourself, shop around for the kits,
seen plenty online.
Might have to travel tho,
but if your keen to do it, it has to be worth in the end.

The conversion is too much of a bitsa kind of deal for most shops to want to do. They can't just "order" a manual conversion if that makes sense and have to spend time hunting around wreckers for the parts. If it was just a case of ordering and swapping out the physical parts it would be fine but most places don't want to deal with having to link a new ECU or have the old ECU reflashed.

Agree with DIY.

Yeah it's a fair bit of labour & somewhat unappealing job to take on if need to chase down all the parts,

Thought I got stung on price buying manual vy sv8 18 months ago...now see rougher cars at double the price.
