Okay here's the best answer you'll probably get.
Yes possible, can install it yourself and have your car down for a few weeks?
Why does everyone say not to do it, you could get a F23 trans cobalt switch all your parts over then sell your now back to stock cobalt and be able to pay off most of the price of the new car with the sell. It's way easier and will work instead of going through all the unknowns that you'll be the first one ever solving and thus on your own.
So you're aware the F23 is actually stronger than a F35 trans and you can even add add a LSD but will need a new clutch and eventually axles. I'm very happy I spent extra time looking for a manual and paid a bit extra.

sorry to hear that man, I am taking my car to the dyno on monday. I am trying to get my BRFPS tuned up for a few more whp. Gonna stop at 440 whp. I am trying to keep my car in great daily driving condition and still maintain my WOT power. The car right now is a beast and so much fun to drive. I am not going to lean on her to much harder.

it should be noted that you CANNOT buy parts for these transmission no matter what version you look up. and btw it is also used in 2003-2004 saab's, and there are v6 saabs running 400+ hp and 450+ torque.

im currently swaping auto to manual with a 2004 f40 transmission and the bad syncro is my biggest fear about using that transmission.
there is not much difference.
