youll need the pedal box which are hard to come by so you need to do a little looking around the gear box of course and clutch plus other fiddly bits

hey I just rang my mate at Malaga Auto Dismantlers, hes got a complete 5 spd manual conversion for a vl commodore, thats reconditioned 5spd + heavy duty clutch, hydraulics, pedal box, manual vl computer, manual surround and gear shift boot and all the other little bits for $1000, thats a good price.
also TREV DIFFS AND TRANSMISSION in malaga will do the complete swap for you for $500 aslong as u supply everything, ive hadall my diffs/gearboxes fixed their since I was 17, hes a champ, always does the right thing by people.

thats not for a turbo mx7 box though is it ( $1000) ... would a n/a box take much punishment behind a turbo? or will it just die in the ass..?

hey projktvl, yeah a n/a box will take alot of punishment, alot of guys convert to them when they have auto n/a or turbos, hell even my mate has an n/a auto behind an rb25 running 10psi of boost and it loves it hahha.
