My tranny keeps skipping, I took it to the dealership and they said I will need a new trasmition soon. Is there anyway I can put a manual transmition into my 97 grand prix, instead of the automatic one it already has and where could I find one? Thanks!

It's possible, but it's very costly. Posted earlier in this thread: "Manual Trans Flywheel 428.00 Having mounts made 350.00 Special axles 425.00 per side A Getrag M27 trans (not the greatest but somewhat strong) 450.00 Spacer shim which he modified 35.00 Starter which he had to grind out the nose cone 50.00" ----------------------- The main problem with putting a standard in, is that there's no FWD manual tranny that can handle the 280lb ft of torque that the supercharged engine puts out. You'd have a better chance of reliability with a N/A GT.

If I recall correctly, I think there's word of a possibility of a manual tranny for the GP's coming out soon. It's barely in the testing stages.

This has been on everyone's wish list since '97. Maybe they'll actually do it.
