    Should have grabbed the auto and just put an adaptor on for the transfer. Im surprised that they cant point you in the right direction from which you have purchased the bellhousing. Marks adaptors may also be able to help you out if you give them a call. Thats about all i can add hopefully someone will be along shortly to add.

    Im not sure costwise mate sorry. I would have thought a similar sort of cost. It just removes the drama of trying to source different clutch parts and both boxes are strong and can handle good power. I think they still use a gm clutch but dont quote me on that. sorry i cant help you out more

    MAD GQ just a warning for your interest. You should rmove yourphone number from the post mate. Ask people to PMyou and exchange phone nubers there. You never can be sure who is scanning the internet for phone numbers to use in marketing etc.

    As nissannewby said go auto. I wish i had would be heaps beta in the bush.
    I used marks bellhousing, clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. I also used their slave cylinder (only cause they said i needed one) however it is the same as the factory one i already had. As for throw out bearing it came with marks kit. The wiring loom i sent up to killla kustoms in QLD and he modded the engine loom for me.

    i brought my stand alone harness for 620 delivered to my door with them supplying the harness. usually you have to surply the ls1 harness and they chop it for you, i got mine through road runner offroad. they did a really good job too looks mint as.
