2001 5-Speed

[hac_gagt]

I just seen a car for sale online. Its a 2001 Grand AM SE1 coupe with the 3.4. The ad says its a 5-Speed, but I didn't think you could get the six with a stick.

I've never seen one, it can't be. If that were an option, trust me, this site would know and that would a HOT (and i do mean HOT, LIKE SUPER HOT) commodite as far as swaps/performance go. It would fit in there, no doubt. I would like to see the add.

Unless they'd put on the 2.2 OHV tranny, and had DHP wipe out the auto tranny controls... i'd really doubt it's true.

None of the V6 Grand Ams came from the factory with a 5-speed. The only exceptions were a few prototypes but GM is more willing to strip and crush them then let anyone else have them.

Which brings up yet another reason the "General" is going down. Instead of letting the gearheads get to play (and we'd even PAY for) with the cool factory s#$%, they would rather scrap it. Just dosen't make since to me. I can see it now at a "board" metting: "What do want to do Smith, KEEP the camaro?? Put a manual in the midsize v6 cars as an option? Keep refineing proven gines and not start from sratch on unproven technology? DON"T change the cars when they start to sell well?? What are you, nuts! You are fired!! You make no business sense!! Get out now, and might as well go and try to save the world with the bright ideas you have having lately!! Like the greatest one of last week, "keep car weight down, and all areas improve" hahahahaha!! You are fired!" My 2 cents, hell, maybe this kinda stuff has already happened.

at least you can get a 6-Speed manual in G6 GTP
