would the 5 speed from the first gen 3.1L work with the 3.5/3.9L? arent they all 60* v6s? personally i wouldnt want a manual trans in a heavy fwd car, unless i had to launch it super high in the rpm range, and didnt want to live with a deep torque convertor.

there was no 3.1 in the first gen monte, and in the 5th gen that had the 3.1 there was no manual transmission. Monte carlos have been strictly automatic since the 1980 model year, 1979 being the last year manual was offered from the factory due to low interest.

There were some of the early w-body grand prixs that were offered with a manual. This option was eliminated in 94 IIRC. Even the 3.4 DOHC was mated to a 5 speed (albeit rare). Those were 5 speeds. A guy on another forum I'm on mated a 6 sped from a G6 to a 3800 but it was expensive as heck and required a bunch of work.
