Very expensive & lots of mods to fit a 6spd Tremec to an older Holden (pre VT) 5.0L. Best bet is to find a T56 out of a Senator. All Holden 304 5.0L & LS1 are chev bellhousing pattern. 6spd is a waste of time unless you're wanting to run low diff gears such as 4.11's. mates Senator was hardly ever in 6th, they're built for open highway cruising in Aussie, not little old NZ roads.

Like guider said get one from a vr/vs senator.I installed a t56 in my VL,wouldnt do that again.I had to buy a bellhousing(dellow),bullet shifter to bring shifter forward(or backwards), electronic speedo,Clutch kit(auto clutch),new release bearing,new hydraulic pipes,bigger bore master clutch cylinder,new one piece driveshaft,modified gearbox crossmember.Dont think i had much change from 7 grand.
