    Just ordered my pedals and want to attempt this swap pretty bad. Now where can I source a transmission for less then 5k, that's how much they are on gmpartsdirect or similar websites. I'm very new to the forum and come from a mustang background so please keep in mind this is all new to me. The parts list is very helpful but those prices are way lower then what I'm seeing searching around.

    My car is 2009 g8 gt PSM if that helps with wondering on what year I want to attempt this on. I have a question, when the bcm changes to the conversion one will that eliminate the indicators (DNR) on the instrument panel? Will the remote start function still be active. Can some body give me insight on all this please.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE,
    MOE

    You can't have remote start with a manual transmission. Huge liability.

    You can. I had it on a manual car before. I don't recommend it.

    I don't think there is a natural safety on the tr6060.
    The system uses the clutch sensor.

    Can someone please explain how to flash in the Holden commodore manual transmission?
    I just bought an hptuner and have been searching online how to do this and it seems like this needs to be done in the “segment swap” tab in hptuner but the tab is shaded gray and won’t let me click on it. I’m guessing this is because the OS’s rnt the same but even if I find the same OS as my 09 G8 in the hptuner repository, there’s no transmission file to copy. Help would be appreciated so I can get the manual swap started.

    Yes. It's a segment swap.
    I didn't do it myself but what Pat told me was he used an 08 holden base, swapped Vinson and tuned for my cam and rear gear and all that.
    Maybe try and do that.

    Also you need to make sure the bcm is flashed with manual tune before you do the ecu. If not you will not be able to load the manual segmented tune in the ecu unless the bcm sees the tcm.

    I would strongly recommend you get a new bcm flashed so you have both auto and manual bcm you can go back and forth.
    If you did have a problem you can sit the auto trans by the car. Plug the auto harness into the ecm and transmission then jump the grounds to the chassis and it will allow you to load the tune.

    If you still have e trouble pm me and I can send you my tune. I have efi live so I dunno if it will work but I believe I still have the HP tune loaded from another 08 Manual swap.
    Or contact Pat G and email him your tune and he can swap it all around then you tune it from there.

    Started my swap yesterday. Got my tune modded by Tad Banzuelo (was tuner for Haddad Motorsports - now works with Superior in Placentia). I flashed it yesterday no problem. Pulled the BCM to mail to Chris White tomorrow. I'm keeping my factory brake pedal. Measured and cut the pad yesterday to fit the clutch pedal cover. Worked great. On the list today is to pull the brake booster and install the clutch pedal. Then put her up on blocks and start removing stuff. Fun, fun!
