Isuzu doesn't manufacture anything they don't have to, so you'll find many parts and assemblies common throughout their line-up. For example, the hydraulic clutch pedal assembly mounts right up in a VX as our pedal hangers are the same as in the Trooper.

Remember also that the VX rally vehicles had 5-speed trannies with TOD that was manually adjustable for torque split.

As for manuals, just pick up a CD copy for a late model European Trooper from eBay which usually includes the domestic-spec VehiCROSS as well. I got one and it's great, as well have a few others here on the forum.

The only thing really unique about the VX from an Isuzu standpoint is the sheet metal. Almost everything else under our unique shell is from the Isuzu light-truck parts bin.

As the owner of (now 4) Merkur XR4Ti cars I learned long ago to never tell a parts person what I had as they'd either laugh or look stupider, so I use what shares common parts such as the Mustang SVO or Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. Same thing with the VX, I just use the same Trooper or Rodeo parts. Usually that makes it much cheaper and incredibly easy to get.

I don't need to impress a parts supplier with the fact I've got a VX, that just shocks my wallet!
