    Okay, so as far as I know.. The last manual transmission in a Grand Prix was the 88? If anyone knows of any thing newer than such please let me know.. Basically what I'm considering and wondering about is would I be able to buy a 5 speed transmission off an 88 GP and swap it to my 00 GTP? I'm aching to make my GTP a stick, what would have to be done other than probably a computer change.. Input please and thank you

    Or... you could use a G5/G6 Transmission, becasue it's been proven to work...

    Really? I wasn't aware they had a manual option. Which would be a bigger fuss? an older or newer transmission you think?

    I've heard the G transmissions are easy to get in. There used to be a member that was selling kits, I don't know if he is still around or not.

    Just build an automatic and put it in.

    Less hassle and its faster.

    Plus...look at your cupholder.

    Shifting sucks
