what year monte do you have?

RE: 5 spd swap...?
 

i have heard many people talk about doing it, but know one ever does... it is very difficult to find the specific trany you need and even more difficult to find the parts to beef up the trany to handle the power you would throw at it.

i wish you luck my friend please prove me wrong... but i doubt you will ever finish this project.

it wouldnt be that hard to do on a RWD car at all. but is it even possible on a FWD car when automatic is stock??

RE: 5 spd swap...?
 

there is a 5spd that i believe came in fieros that will bolt up with a little work... the hard thing is getting the axles, shifter, clutch master cylinder, pedel, and trany mounts into a car that was never ment for such things.

and once you get it in the car.... you would need to have the trany made strong enough to handle the power of a v6 or moded v6... cause that trany was designed for a small weak v6. there are a lot of issues to overcome...

either that....or i dont see why a 5spd from a V6 camaro or firebird wouldnt work out. it is made for the 3800.

Did the chevy Bretta have a 5 speed in it
I know you could get a Pontica Sunbird with a 5 speed and 3.1 v-6 I had one in 92

RE: 5 spd swap...?
 

I dont believe these trannies will work they are for a rear wheel drive vehicle. Not a front drive. Now unless you converted the whole thing to a rear drive vehicle

RE: 5 spd swap...?
 

I beleive you could get a 5 speed in the Grand Prix as well. According to MSN autos,1993 was the last year that it was offered.

i dont know much about trannies at all........but a rear wheel drive tranny is different from a front wheel drive tranny??
