Trans Swap
 

First off i want to say i just joined this site.

ok and now for the topic i want to disscus, I have a 2009 Cobolt LS 4 door and i was wondering if i can to do a transmission swap from a automatic to a manual. i know its possible but can anyone give me advice? i orginally wanted to do a 2.0 SS swap but seeing that its 4-5k for the engine alone im trying to see if there are cheaper methods.

-thanks

I have a much better idea for you. Don't spend any money at all on the car and when you have finally saved up enough money sell yours and get the SS (hopefully the TC) you really wanted all along.

There really isn't any point in putting that much money into a car when for now much more you can just get the better car.

You pretty much need a donor car, boatloads of work.

Just not worth it

I deff agree just save and get an ss man

Just rock the auto.

You are only a turbo kit, pistons, and rods away from a beast.:)

is it possible to turbo a auto?

Yup. Easier than a manual because the back of the engine has more room

i have a 4dr auto lt the im using as a hypermileage build. may consider that op

I'm not doing a hyper mileage build, but I can get 45-48 on a good road like its my job. what are you able to get?

My Auto is Turbo :nuts: and i love it! im just going to build up my trans

yeaaaaaa definitely do not waste the time to do an engine and trans swap. besides, automatic is better for the dragstrip anyway if your looking to go fast. i love my manual, but there is a reason why my nova is an automatic lol. if u got the money, just boost your current set up. zzp is the way to go for that.

Speaks the Truth lol

I have been told mt trans will go if I installed the zzp turbo kit

Im no where near zzp shop lol

Stocker can take 300whp, just be smart and realize heat is the enemy so watch tranny temps and don't beat on it until the atf boils.

neither do i lol. im still making the drive out there to get my trans done :P lol.

and what he said^^ buy a separate trans cooler for it instead of using the one in the radiator. that would help keep things cooler.

I think that might work for me since I don't plan to beat on my car lol.. and I'm in south Texas so it is quite a drive I'm not willing to make at the moment haha

Will this fit I'm my Balt? What is the stock trans on an LAP?

4T45 is the stock trans, theres is just built, should bolt right in

Ok, their code for it is 4t45e what is with the e? Extreme? Lol so the 4t45 is the same as the 4t45e?

e belongs on the end of yours too. it means electronic

Yeah I just read that lol thanks!

road trip to michigan? lol. i know im going for sure when i get back.

haha, that always works too :cssNET:
