ENTIRE G8 MANUAL SWAP GUIDE

[@ALittleMoore624]

Just bought a Camaro tr6060 to start the same process. Appreciate all the useful info

[@yordiramiez6915]

thinking of doing this in the future not much info out there but i found this now i have hope

[@RazzlezHD]

whats the part number for your harness ?

[@marktiltins8845]

Our source in Australia for Tremec gear is Mal Wood Automotives He makes his own short shifter approved by Tremac just did my HSV Grange with a Magnum F And run 3.73

[@Rijos313]

Whats that orange paint from is the real question car looks great

[@danielp6629]

For future reference they still make the rear section for the GXP. Mate that reman to your auto front section and your golden of you get the GXP TR6060. There is only a few places in the US that can balance a two piece with our mounting type. Pretty expensive and in itself rare.

Any link on the connection to Australia ? I’m ready for the swap just needing the harness I’ll pay for the connection

[@Aurya]

where did u get the shift boot for it ??

[@dontbehatun]

at what point in the swap did you get the tune done? would starting the car up after the swap before getting the tune mess anything up? for example, could i do the swap and then drive my car on the trailer to take it to the tuner?

[@doomedgarage7580]

I drove it while my tuner tuned it, it started up just fine and ran good, just the fuel permitters were off a little bit

[@kenny4089]

Not all heroes wear capes, but some do shift that mf

[@g8autox]

Did you get your reverse lights to work? That seems to be a common issue. Thanks!

[@doomedgarage7580]

It works like factory! Perks of having a manual harness! Highly recommend finding one if you do it

[@g8autox]

We were able to get them to work. But yeah, I totally agree. It would’ve been super nice to have the full-on harness.

[@Venom-jy4wm]

so for the crossmember from the SS we need the automatic mount? 92197310? or 92260603? Thanks

[@Venom-jy4wm]

it appears that 92197310 is the cross member for an automatic g8, unless im missing something you may want to re check the screenshotted part number.

[@shawneby1030]

Who did u get to flash the manual commodore tune to your ecm or did u do it yourself?

[@doomedgarage7580]

Ok where do I find fkn struts for my basic 2009 Pontiac G8 Base sedan V6. Been looking for weeks and can't find sht, plus I have a rattle in the front too. Not to mention my abs light is on along with my airbag fault light too. Need help finding parts badly
