All that money for a stick that could go into a complete engine rebuild/turbo. Auto ftw!

after lots of searching there is a version of the F-40 that is in the Saab 2.0 turbo that fits the ecotec as well as the F-40 that is in the current Buick regal rs... there is also the 6 speed in the cruze which i believe is made by getrag that works for the ecotec...I may have to think about that if I ever get around to manual swap...who wants 5 gears when you can have 6 
Auto is for those who have gotten too lazy to shift on their own or the handicapped...just my opinion

you know now that i know the car more. the car never did go into first. when we did the test run i was starting in third... i found out on the way home the car wouldnt go into first gear. i dicussed with matt about the problem and we landed on the idea that i needed to adjust the shift cablen shortly after. but i couldnt for a little bit so i had to start out in second from a stop. but about 2-3 days ago, i was at my dads and i tried to go into first with the car off, it did, but wouldnt when it was on. so after a couple stop lights on my way home from dads, i'd try to go into first, and it finally starting poppin in. but before that i fiddle with it and tried to get into first, it just wouldnt go. idk why. but it works fine now, no problems since. and consider to call me an idiot, but you or mike also didnt realize i was starting in 3rd on take off.  its unfortunate it happened like that.. but you live and learn....

New motor probably being built this winter; I think the auto would say "no way" to 7000rpm upshifts.
3500 heads/~10.85:1 compression/WOT Race cam.
Should be a runner. |

yeah it acts as a manual but its still auto. r is reverse, 1 is park, 2 is neutral, 3 is drive, 4 is 1, 5 is 2, and 6 is 3, you just hold the brake and put it in one of those gears and it acts as the auto should, no need to shift, cause its an automatic. still gotta re-label the shifter so im not all confused.
nah.... mfuller and manwhore can totally vouch for me. but i should have a video up within the next week or two.
plus, i couldnt do that good of a photoshop for all that, plus why would i even want to waste my time doing that, when ive got the REAL DEAL sititng in the garage.
