    I found a Grand Prix in a local junkyard with the 5 speed and everything there for a good price this will be my dd should I do it? Or not? I'm on my second tranny nether was built or anything and don't really want to spend the money to build one either would rather go this route a. For fun b. the ability to take some good power thrown at it

    Well that's rare must of been someone's conversion..5 speed is possible do you have fabrication/welding skills you'll need it or $$$$ to pull it off. Check Hitmans thread its not just a simple bolt on.

    buy the entire car from them.

    it's gonna take lots of work to pull all the parts you need.

    No the car that has the 5 speed is a older 1st gen... My car is a 97.. Oh yea I got skills to do so im a master gm tech. would be kinda on a budget but for the price I'm getting the trans, axles, cables, shifter and pedals, master cylinder lines the whole setup I will be able to get some of the good stuff needed like new clutch, flywheel

    I would do it if Its what you want. Im about to do it with my 98 Daytona. Most expensive part so far is getting a clutch to hold the power of a modded engine
