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.
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
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 one last question cause I seen another 6 speed swapped g8 and he doesn’t have abs light is it possible to delete to get the light to turn off I hate having lights on my dash
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
Just bought a Camaro tr6060 to start the same process. Appreciate all the useful info
Have ya finished it bro?
@@Andrew-jo3ft I scrapped the idea lol. Car is still basically stock because I’m so indecisive

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

That’s a factory colour for 2008 only.

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
where did u get the shift boot for it ??
Any link on the connection to Australia ? I’m ready for the swap just needing the harness I’ll pay for the connection
Did you get your reverse lights to work? That seems to be a common issue.
Thanks!
It works like factory! Perks of having a manual harness! Highly recommend finding one if you do it
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.
@@g8autox yeesir worked easy
Who did u get to flash the manual commodore tune to your ecm or did u do it yourself?
I did it with Hp tuners!
@@doomedgarage7580 thank u! And also thanks for making a video. All the info on the forums is very vague
@@shawneby1030 yessir no problem at all, figured id share the love!
so for the crossmember from the SS we need the automatic mount? 92197310? or 92260603? Thanks
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.
When u did the swap did any lights on the dash turn on ?
Oh yeah , abs and few codes on CEL
@@doomedgarage7580 Oo does remote start still work and does traction control still work as it should with the button or is it permanently off or on?
@@Eastbaystunna remote start disables , traction control comes back with bcm flash

Do you need a DOD delete to manual swap?
no
