will the F23 trans from a 5 spd cobalt LS fit a Solstice LNF???

No. F23 = fwd. Aisin AR-5 = rwd.

is it even the same as the cobalt LNF?

is it even the same as the cobalt LNF?

...turned sideways. The F23 would not bolt up.

no, the f23 is fwd, the soltice is a rwd car. NOOOOO

F35 are in ss/tc's but like said before that is fwd

the real answer is, not easily.

while i'm pretty certain that the block would work just fine, you'd need a new bellhousing, mounts, wiring, accessories, and basically, car.

i don't see it being a practical swap.

well what i was wondering about is fitting a LNF from a solstice into my car, a 2007 cobalt with a F23 5 speed manual.

yea, that will work.

you sure?

Dont think so - I believe that the bolt patterns are different

my F23 tranny

its close

trying to find a pic of the LNF engine bolt pattern or the tranny pattern...

i actually think they might just work.

it should work, its the same block...then again, them might have changed the housing to accomodate the other transmission. There is a pdf of the transmission outline on the gmtunersource page.

from ebay...
