The electronic/tuning end of it would be your stopping point. Your current ECM is setup to communicate with the TCM via the CAN bus. Elimination or a disconnected TCM would pretty much bring the swap to a grinding halt.
I'm not real good with TCM tuning or autos in general, so this is just a guess.

Uhg, not what I wanted to hear. I asked my dad about it the other day and he said the same thing. That I would be better off just trading it in
I dont know much about the trade in system but ive only had my cobalt since last august. But the only thing ive done is Rims and tires and ive thrown a performace exhaust on it. I wanna trade it in but I dont know how stressfull the process will be

Total owed = 18,000
Total Paid = 1750
Car worth = 10,000
so this means that if you get 10,000 trade in price, and you still owe 8,250, that will get tacked on to your new car... so, let's say that your new car is 15,000 + 8250 = 23,250 dollars... now let's say you finance that for 5% for 5 years, you're gonna end up paying about 27 - 30,000 for a base model cobalt...
let this be a learning lesson to research before you buy, because this is a shitty situation...

well, you have to factor in the fact that you haven't made many payments, and your car lost alot of value when you took it off the lot... figure out your negative equity first... so, basically, (with totally made up #'s) if including finance fees, and all the other goodes that they tack on, if you owe 18,000 on a car, and have been paying since last august, at let's say 350/month... you've probably made 5 payments, which equals 1750 dollars... so,
Total owed = 18,000
Total Paid = 1750
Car worth = 10,000
so this means that if you get 10,000 trade in price, and you still owe 8,250, that will get tacked on to your new car... so, let's say that your new car is 15,000 + 8250 = 23,250 dollars... now let's say you finance that for 5% for 5 years, you're gonna end up paying about 27 - 30,000 for a base model cobalt...

You will lose your ass in Inequity, but it will cost less and have less problems than dropping the manual in your Auto. Guaranteed!
IT WORKS EVERY TIME!
