i need to replace my trans i really dont wana only do my trans so im thinking about buying an ss engine and trans would this work could i drop a 2007 cobalt SS coupe engine and transmition in to my 2006 cobalt ls coupe without modification ?? plz no mean replys im just trying to figure out what i can do here thanks

 

also would my linkage match up to the ss ?

 

Yes, it will 'physically bolt in'

No, you shouldn't do it. Unless you're rich as hell

There are like 6.2 million threads on this btw

 

You should make another thread about this please

 

what do you mean it would physically bolt up so i could realistically justs take the old one out and put the new one in ??? what do u mean it would cost alot

 

theres a but load of electrical problems

 

^ this.

You need not just the engine, transmission, and sundry smaller pieces, but the wiring harness and computer too.


So, yes, it will physically bolt in, but there's a lot more to it than that.

 

I have engine and trans with 20k miles lol. Located in michigan too!

 

and a wiring harness to go with it?

 

is it for sale lol ?? and so i would need the wiring harness and the computer but those come with it so other then that ?

 

you would also need mounts, some sort of intake, axles, not sure if hubs would work or not. there isa big list. you really need to buy a wrecked SS from 05-06. im not sure if 07 would have different connectors as the Cobalt went to the LAN connections in 07

 

so it would not fit in the regular ls motor mounts ? how much do u think id spend given i have the engine harness and the computer so how much besides that the car comes with an intake its a tottaled ss sc 2007 would this work for a 2006 ls ? if so how much i already have the (engine trans computer wiring harness) not sure if axles are damaged and it has motor mounts in it already if i could take those off
again thanks for helpin me

 

troll strike number 2...

 

mounts are different. The base Cobalts used a Getrag F23 manual transmission, whereas the SS used a 20 year old Saab designed F35 manual transmission. different mounts, and axles are a must. Spindles should be fine. Only the LNF spindles are different. The intake for an 07 will work, but not the computer or harness. computer and harness would have to be from a 2005-2006 as they changed the interior wiring harness in 2007.

 

if you have to ask questions like this, showing you aren't experienced in this type of thing, you should not be attempting this.

 

bullshit.

if I stopped trying and stopped learning every time someone told me that i don't have experience, I'd still be shitting my diaper and sucking my thumb.

 

so i have the pcm the physical computer isnt this what you mean by the computer and again im getting the whole car so realisticaly if necessary i could rip out the whole dash and replace it with the ss one all the wires everything .. so mounts and axles i know i have stg 2 ss axles with it so i also have the ss wiring harness so idk where to go from here ig so the interior is different

 

lol truth!

 

The PCM is what we mean, yes.

Basically, you're going to gut the car and replace everything. It's a tall job. Thing to do is find a wrecked SS and transplant it all into your LS.

It would be a whole lot easier and less expensive to replace your transmission and then turbo your car.

 

Just don't do it. Youre obviously not skilled enough to do it at this point

 

just throw in a cummins engine and call it a day, diesel cobalt ftw

 

thank you for all of those that helped me i am getting the trans redone brand new with a stage 3 puck clutch and hopefully bigger gears and assisted shifting short throw thanks ill keep you posted i already have the supercharger / sc maf / heat x pump / heat x and brackets / all i need is the rad hose gaskets and a lttle bit of hosing to re do the radiator lines

 

take pics of build/swap whatever ur doing and post it.

 

what is an assisted shifting short throw? Never heard of it.
