[ilikesubarus]

does any one know were i could find a manuel tranny and how hard would the swap from auto to manuel be to do

[ilikesubarus]

for a 2000 alero 2.4L

[|Rev|]

Hes talking about my car lol.
But, I do have a question to add, could I use the manual tranny off a Grand am, Sunfire, or a Cavi???

[Oldsman]

the tranny in the cav, sunfires is the same tranny.

far as pedals and shifter, etc you would need out of an alero or grand am. or you could get the part numbers and order from the factory.

What about the center dash piece? Could I modify the one I have, or would I have to find a manual alero?

[Spilner521]

all this talk about manual trannys has me thinkin.....where could someone find a half decent getrag 5 speed to fit our engine?

[cutelilcntrygrl]

I'll trade my manual tranny for a new Mustang.. not the engine but the whole car. lol... I get tired of shifting. <_<

[Spilner521]

..now if only i had an extra Mustang i didn't need... :P

[cutelilcntrygrl]

lol... notice I said a "new" Mustang... ;)

[Redog]

Won't you also need a different PCM to do that?

[ilikesubarus]

what is a pcm and im sorry hun but im not gunna trade a brand new mustang for a manual tranny sorry. lol.

[cutelilcntrygrl]

Hey, you can't blame a girl for trying!! lol

[ilikesubarus]

if i had the money to buy a mustang to trade for a tranny then i would gladly do it. that is if i realy wanted to pay like $40000000 for a tranny. if i had the money to waist i would love to but i dont so i wont

[ilikesubarus]

if youi did use a tranny from a differant kind of car (grand am, sunfire) would i need any adapters or a differant setup for the ecu

[|Rev|]

^ no, they are the same motor, just diff PCM for the tranny. :withstupid:

PCM and the ECU are the same thing.

[ilikesubarus]

ok thats what i thought i just wasnt for sure

[Oldsman]

far as the center console part you would need a new or used one.

you would also need to get the PCM out of a 5-speed car.

You can get a used 282 getrag from carparts.com for a few hundred bucks. then you need the PCM, linkages, pedals, etc, etc. If you use the tranny from a J-bod I believe they have different mounts, not sure thou. [/b][/quote]
False, the PCM controls all aspects of the powertrain and the ECU only controls the engine.

actualy an ecu is an Electronic Controll Unit and they are used for many things including drive trains they are not just used for the engine

in his context ECU is an engine control unit, not an electronic control unit and the PCM, or powertrain control module, acts as a superset of the ECU, which is an older "concept" so to type...The ECU also acts as a superset of the FMU and the ignition systems both of which I have built as stand alone units on my other car.
