Has anyone done a manual swap?

i am looking for more information a sixth generation grand prix ,97-03, with a manual swap. Im just wondering things like what trans how long did it take to put in etc. any information would be great. Thanks!!
 


its been done. good luck finding the tranny. ( if you find one it will cost dearly) then theres all the fab work. really not worth it. but it sure does seem like fun.
 
i would think that finding an f40 out of a g6 would be the easiest. lots of work for not lots of reward. you are going to have to be real nice to it or suffer the consequences. on the brighter side you can still get a quaife diff for it.

Is the diff the only weak point though? I put a Quaiffe in my Stealth after breaking a few diffs and played a little too hard once and ended up breaking 2nd gear. I guess since the diff wasn't going to fail/break that something else did.
 
yeah i dont know much about that trans, did a little research like 6-7 years ago when i was considering a manual swap but i have never seen them pushed really hard.
 
Cobalt guys F40 swap when they want big power. Matt from ZZP runs 10s (iirc) on his stock F40. Only failure he bad was ripping the mounts out of the trans (cracking the case) on a hard launch.
