Hi all, I already have a VR V6 engine in my lux and I am considering swapping from the toyota G52 to the holden 4L60 auto box. Has anybody made the change that can say if it was worth it or not, and what was required for the change over.
I guess general things required would be the rebuild of the auto box to suit the hilux and a transmission cooler and maybe a new HSS sensor from marks adapters.

Pro's
better overdrive
a gearbox better suited to the power output


con's
?

Any help would be great. Regards, Nick.

Hi mate i think the vr motor came out with a t700,not the 4L60e that come out in vs on difference being 4L60 is computer controlled T700 is cable kick down.I have the vs v6 with the 4L60e auto and it works a treat.
