My only problem is that i've been lookig for weeks but i cant find any of these parts in The USA i live in the boston, ma area. Since catera's where all automatic anyone know any website that would sell these parts?

You'd probably be better off trying to find another GM application in the US that used the same, or a compatible, gearbox.
I'm guessing the other parts of the conversion could be shipped over reasonably cheaply, but the gearbox is going to be expensive.

there are none.
It's a Getrag 240, with a GM-specific bellhousing pattern.

So, probably cheaper to source a V8 plus manual gearbox locally than ship just a gearbox to the US. I know what I'd do. ;)

I guess look for one that's being broken on here and see if the breaker would be prepared to ship it international.
You would need to find out if the clutch pedal parts are handed, though. If so, you'd probably need to source them from a left-hand-drive car, so sourcing one in continental europe would be the only option. :-/

^ hahah so its basically not possible seeing left hand drive & right hand drive hahaha. Do you think i could possibly swap it out for a diffrent type clutch pedal box and cylinder?

Hi I have looked into a manual swap for my catera, but did not get too far. My plan was to piece it together from someone parting out a LHD omega or similar manual GM model, and shipping it.
Have you made any progress?

sure I know someone who can have full kit for manual conversion for LHD car just cost of shipping to US wont be cheap ::)

Can you message me with more info? I am curious what a conversion package would cost, and any rough estimate of what shipping could be.....

Shipping costs would typicaly be $3-4 a Kg plus import charges

Well if $210-$340 is a reasonable shipping estimate, that's not too bad.
Serek, any idea what the conversion kit would cost? It would have to be everything down to the wiring loom on the gearbox and all.
