⚠️
You must fit the correct manual wiring harness

This is a programming-only service. To complete the conversion, the correct factory manual wiring harness from a same-year VZ Commodore / HSV Z Series must be physically fitted to the car. Programming alone will not get a car with the wrong loom running.

We do not provide any wiring guidance, wiring diagrams or troubleshooting for harness fitment — please source the correct loom and have it installed by a qualified auto electrician before booking this service.

About This Service

Dropping a manual gearbox (or a non-electronic transmission like a T400 or Powerglide) into a factory-auto Holden VZ Commodore or HSV Z Series requires more than just unbolting the auto and bolting in the new box. Without reprogramming, the vehicle will throw engine warnings, potentially go into limp mode, and won’t run properly — the various control modules expect to see the factory TCM on the bus and behave incorrectly when it’s gone.

We tailor-program every required module on your specific vehicle to match a factory manual configuration. That includes the engine computer, instrument cluster, and several other modules depending on your build. The required modules differ from car to car — we confirm the exact list once you’ve purchased the service.

All programming on this listing is performed in-house at our workshop. You remove the required modules from your vehicle, post them to us, and we ship them back fully reprogrammed and ready to refit.

What Gets Reprogrammed

We tailor-program every module that needs to match the new transmission configuration. The exact list depends on your specific vehicle — confirmed after you purchase — but typically includes:

⚙️Engine Computer (ECM) — reconfigured for manual / non-electronic transmission operation
📊Instrument Cluster — updated so the dash shows the correct gear / shift indicator behaviour
🔌Other supporting modules — varies per build, all confirmed in your post-purchase module list
✖️Factory TCM removed from the bus — the only physical module change required
🔐
All your factory modules are retained

We do not require any modules to be modified, swapped or replaced — other than removing the factory TCM. Your original ECUs come back to you reprogrammed to match a factory manual setup.

How It Works — 4 Simple Steps

1

Order & Get Your Module List

Place your order and we’ll send through the full list of modules that need reprogramming for your specific vehicle.

2

Remove & Ship Modules to Us

Remove the required modules from your VZ and post them in. Shipping typically takes 1–3 business days to reach us.

3

We Reprogram & Return

We typically reprogram all modules same day or next day and get them back into the post for return.

4

Refit to Your Vehicle

Bolt the reprogrammed modules back into the car and you’re ready to fire it up on the new transmission.

📦 Typical end-to-end turnaround: Roughly 3–7 business days from posting your modules to having them back in your hands — 1–3 days in transit each way, plus same / next day in-house programming.

Important — Please Read Before Ordering

🔗 Correct manual harness must be fitted first

The correct factory manual wiring harness from a same-year VZ / HSV Z Series must be physically fitted to the car. We do not supply harnesses and we do not provide any wiring diagrams, wiring guidance or troubleshooting — that’s your auto electrician’s job.

📢 Contact us first to confirm suitability

Every VZ Auto-to-Manual conversion is slightly different. Please get in touch before ordering so we can verify this service will cover your specific build — vehicle, engine, target transmission and any other modifications.

📝 Modules confirmed after purchase

The exact list of modules to be reprogrammed varies per vehicle and is confirmed in your module list once the service has been purchased. Pre-purchase “which modules?” queries will be ignored — the answer is genuinely build-specific and pulling that information together takes time we’d rather spend on paying conversions.
