Quick question about Transmission swap.

CharmfulPeace · 07-19-2016, 08:01 PM

I was wondering, for future reference, if I want to swap my auto to a standard, would I need to take the transmission from another Alero with the same engine? Or would it be as long as it is from an Alero in general?

I know what's involved with this swap and understand the work that is involved, but would still love to cruise around town in a standard.

Corner clearing still yet to come.

Seems like a stupid question, but I'd rather be safe then sorry.

Is your car a v6? If so, they never made manual v6's.

My v6 is swapped to a 6 speed manual.

Yeah, mine is the 3400 sfi. Yours is V6 with a 6-speed? What vehicle would I want to take a manual transmission from, if any?

6 speed swap you want to pull it from a 2007 g6 gxp.

I will warn you, the flywheels are discontinued. And are non-resurfacable like your standard flywheels are.

Your other option is a getrag 282 5 speed swap. Which comes from a chevy beretta.

Don't forget about the programming factor. its not plug and play with cars today

The Pontiac Sunfire also uses the F23, could you swap one into an Alero? or does it not bolt to the LA1?

Sadly, this is true. I will be looking into this yet as this is a project that is yet to come when I am able to spare the money.
