VY Commodore Gearbox Issues
Phoenix Mechanical
Soaring
Clutch Pedal Squeak - The clutch pedal to clutch master cylinder pushrod pivot pin and bush may become dry and squeak. Applying Molybond GA10 Grease to the pin and bush will help reduce squeaks.

Gearshift Knob Rattles Gen III Manual - The gearshift knob may vibrate to the point where it can generally be heard in 3rd or 4th gear at wide open throttle between 2500 to 4000 rpm. This condition is a result of excessive clearance between the shifter knob and the shifter lever. From March of 2002, gearshift knobs were glued on.

Gearshift Rattles Gen III Manual - Under certain driving conditions some VY's may develope a rattling gear shift lever. This condition is different to gear knob rattle. The cause of the rattle may be due to excessive
clearances in the remote shifter linkages. A revised remote shifter was introduced late 2003 to eliminate rattles.

Shifter Upgrade Kit - Part number 92147246

Soft or Low Clutch Pedal (Gen III) - In some VY's, the clutch pedal may feel soft and/or has a low disengagement point, along with some difficulty selecting gears. A cause of this can be the clutch slave cylinder. In certain situations, a corrosive chemical reaction can occur between the clutch fluid and the clutch slave cylinder housing. This chemical reaction can produce a gas in the hydraulic system that can give a soft or spongy feel to the clutch pedal. A revised clutch slave cylinder was released late 2003. The new cylinder was made of a different alloy, and was more resitant to chemical reactions.
