Default auto to Manual???

Alright guys has anyone done this change??? I've read up on it and am pretty sure I know wht i need, just wondered time it may take.

Also does anyone know if I can use a T56 box from a GTO rather than a carmaro ???

I have currently have LS1 V8 with 4L60E

i've subsequently found out the bolt up is the same, and the internals are uprated and the gear ratios are slightly different , but the main possible problem is the shift lever is different and is sat 3 inch further back. I dont know if you can swap over the camaro one, but the point is I cannot get a camaro box let alone any parts for it (with paying an arm or leg) so the GTO was better, now i still might concider auto rebuild like my original plan ?????

front the looks of the read up it should be too bad, but im gonna need efi live to swap tunes and all the associated pieces shipped to the UK, and then i've gotta try and find a pedal set?? The point of getting a gto box is the they exist in the UK as Monaros, but camaros are really rare, specially a manual. Ill see how the plan goes down the line. Im pricing everything up at the moment and have to see when i get paid when i start my phd
