Ok so I have paid for the following parts, I will be picking them up on Friday.
axels, console, shifter, pedals, shift cables, clutch master cylinder
It took me forever to find a yard that had these parts, I guess 5 speed grand am's/ Alero's are extremely hard to come by?

I'm currently doing this as well. I do have a second car to drive in the time that it's down. Just trying to locate all the parts right now. me and a friend are going to be working on it. He's a GM small car guru, and his brother will be welding in the mounts.

What transmission are you using where you have to weld in mounts?

I know, old post, but I have a question. What about the getrag trannys that were on the early 90's V6 cavaliers? Would they bolt up to our 3400's? I think that was before GM started making all their engines in a "family" format, to be swapp-able with multiple trannys and whatnot.

To generalize, basically the same bellhousing pattern was used on most FWD engines aside from the SOHC/DOHC 4-cylinders.

Basically anything FWD from 87-94 that has a V6, Quad4 (maybe only HO or better), or Turbo 2.0. However, the V6 ones are the ones that will bolt up to a 3400. The others do have some advantages if you want parts for more aggressive gears though. Somewhere during 1991 (limited production) and for 1992+, all the HO Quads had the 3.94 ratio. Some people want this, but for a 3400 unless you have some crazy tires you're just going to go up in smoke all the time. I can already break traction on GoodYear Eagle F1s from a roll with my basically stock 3400.
The 3.4 DOHC cars have a Getrag 284 which is a bit beefed up. But it's harder to service and uses a more expensive pull-type clutch.

Not really. Finding a manual trans to bolt up to the 3400 is easy as pie!

*bump*
Anyone made any progress on this project? Looks like some guys had this in the works, or at least wanted to. Would be nice to see it done and working.

I forgot all about this thread, however I sold off the 5 speed parts and picked up the 4T65e-HD trans, axles, wiring harness, side mount and PCM code from the GXP Concept Car. I should be working on it sometime this summer as the parts are sitting in my garage along with a second 2000 GAGT. I just need to fab up the front and rear mount as they were already gone
