noone even has any idea?

 

Swapping from an automatic to a manual in any car is quite a chore, as a lot of fabrication needs to go into it (adding the clutch peddle, cutting for the shifter, etc). There is no direct drop-in manual transmission for the Grand Prix's or GTP's. It can be done, yes, and I believe Brian Teel has been working on one for a while. The L67 powered Fiero's utilize their 5-speed manual transmissions since they bolt right into the L67 but that's also a RWD application, of which can't be converted to a FWD application.

Basically, if you have the funds, you could turn your GTP in a RWD 6-speed monster. For the people that aren't Bill Gates, though, we have to rely on what the community and vendors create with trial and error.

Spend the money on getting a beefed up tranny and you'll see a nicely built auto can outperform a manual on the strip any day of the week.

Damn right!!:dito:

 

tranny

i'm not lookin to build a ten second car. Not right now anyway. Is there a tranny that i can buy, or just a few components that should be added to make it a mostly high 12 second reliable tranny?

 

L67 Swap.com

 

Forged input shaft
Forged output shaft
3500 stall
Shift kit

With the tranny apart, replace all internal parts that look bad or worn.

 

i have a 6spd and if someone comes along with the money and the desire to have a manual car i can build it for them

I have the desire but how much money are we talking?

 

about 5k by the time i am done getting parts and installing it...

 

yeah I figured it wasn't going to be cheap, when i come across an extra 5k I will definately give you a call. do you think you will still have the trans in about 3 years?

 

i hope to get it out of the garage in 2 to 3 monthes....either bolted to a engine running or in the back of someones car

 

For those that may be turned off by the price, keep in mind that a built auto tranny for our cars runs anywhere between $3,000 to $4,000+. When you consider that you're upgrading to a 6-speed, that isn't too bad.:8

 

i can give a break down of costs if needed

Here we go!!! My car killed 3 tranies so far (well 2 excluding the original 120K stock). So if somebody buys it :laughing: can rest asured s/he can find better trany for 4 more K.

I would like a break down if possible thanks

That goes double 4 me:icon_twis

 

Let me know.. b/c i'm thinking about going to Dynotech and getting mine rebuilt, they said it'd be about $3300... for another $700, i'm thinking about this 6-speed swap
