I saw an SS trans for sale in the classifieds section and it interested me..

I have an 09 LT with an auto trans.. would it be possible to just drop the SS trans into mine so that I could have a manual car?

What all would need to be replaced/upgraded for this to happen and work properly?
I know I would need the clutch parts and to get my ecm flashed most likely, but im not sure of what else..

I wonder what it would cost in labor to install yikes

Thanks for the help, I hope i can do this, i really want a manual car without trading mine in!

 

no, just no. Don't do it. It literally will be cheaper just to trade your car in for an SS, not joking at all. And don't ask who has done this, because no one has, and it's been asked MANY times.

 

just get the b&m shifter plus, it makes the automatic shift like a manual, u can ever chirp the wheels between 1-2 and 2-3 and its only like 40bucks part number 70380 from B&M

 

you barly chirp 2nd. and deff not 3rd

 

Well I mainly wanted to switch to manual because I like driving a manual alot more, I like the whole feel of shifting and the clutch.. auto just isnt my thing i guess =\

 

well if u got some power it'll chirp, mine chirps all the way to 7th gear and if ur still thinkin bout switching the trans, look into a small block 350 swap too its already been done

 

wow^

 

Yea, don't do it. There's tons of threads about this. Everyone decided it's not worth it.

 

you would be better off using a f23 even then its still not worth it. you need different mounts, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, wiring harness, downpipe, and other misc crap

 

 

not worth it

 

What about if you have an LT with a manual trans. is the SS transmission do-able?

 

No, they are not compatible.

 

Ok thanks. I saw one for sale on craigslist with flywheel wires clutch etc. But wasn't gonna buy it if it couldn't be reasonably done

 

Ya i hear u man, i had one actually sitting in my garage that i REALLY wanted to but on my car, but sadly nope.

 

dont. do. it.

 

Gotta love it. Many small block Cobalts at the track running 8s but RWD
