If you had the option.
even now.
to transform your monte carlo into a stick shift.

.....

would you do it?

yes or no? and why?

i ask myself if i would truely love drivin a stick every day.. even in traffic.

 

If I didn't drive it at least a few times a week I wouldn't mind

 

If I was the only one who drove it I would. I don't mind shifting even in traffic. I drove a stick for about 10 years and it gets to the point you don't even realize your shifting

 

Id love a 6 Speed monte, i drive my GTO alot & its nothing in traffic, does suck but u get used to it

 

It will be a manual when I'm done t56

 

One answer to this question:
"Hell Yeah"!!

I miss driving a stick shift, one of the many reasons I want my Camaro back on the road (that and it's a freakin' Camaro). But one disappoint I've had with GM's product line is for YEARS no v6 with a stick unless it was RWD (F-body basically). Then when they brought the G6 out, WHAM, finally a v6 with a stick.

The money it would take to convert my current Monte to a stick, I can't justify, not with a Camaro to support. But I'd still love to have it.

 

I would do it in a heartbeat, 90% of my cars were stick n im starting to miss it already

 

Hi Mr Monte,
I love driving stick shift rides...When I had my last Monte I was searching for a wrecked Pontiac G6 with the 3.9L GM Engine & Six SPeed Stick to convert my Monte, but could not find one (The 3.9 L V6 became an option on the GT, producing 227 horsepower in automatic transmission form and 240 horsepower in manual transmission form.)






Below is infor on it.

Thanks again for all your super thread/posts & contributions to the MCF ~> 4-Sure

 

I would not.

A well tuned automatic is proven to be more consistent on a drag-strip. When I get this Monte going crazy with a turbo, I would rather focus on driving with my torque-steer than shifting

Driving a manual in traffic all the time is not bad. I don't understand why people "creep" all the time. If traffic isn't moving and there's a space between me and a car, I don't care. I'll sit there until traffic actually starts moving. I don't need to slip my clutch just to move a few inches.

 

yeah thats true !

thats good to know! i would love to have a secondary car thats stick shift

thats true! there was a crash on i-75 near by and it was 4 hours of traffic

lucky!

yeah and we had to wait for the cobalt too !

were they really? thats sweet!

that. would. of. been. AWESOME.

battling the torque-steer! when is the turbo coming to your monte?? thats going to be sweet. how much horse do you want out of it?
and you do bring up a valid point about inching. if i drove a stick i probably wouldnt do all that just to move 1 inch lol
