From VR onwards, all Berlina & Calais, and from VQ onwards, all Stato & Caprice, were auto only, with no manual option, not even as a special order delete option.

VQ came out in 1990, and was the first of the commodore shaped statesmans.
VR came out in 1993, and was the first, after the VN, to round off the rear wheel arch again in the commodore (and Calais).

The ECU & loom differ between manual & auto.

SO you need to get the speedo sorted $$$$ and have the auto memcal reprogrammed to tell it to ignore |
