I have a 2006 Chevy Monte Carlo LT with a 3.5 engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. I’m hoping there’s a manual transmission I can swap into it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
That’s an interesting project. I’m not sure about direct swaps, but you might need to look into the Chevy Impala or similar models from that era. They share a lot of parts.
I think you’ll have to change the transmission control module too. It might not be as simple as just swapping the transmission.

Thanks for the heads-up. I figured it wouldn’t be straightforward, but I appreciate the info.
Swapping to a manual can be tricky. You might also want to check if there are aftermarket kits available.
Have you checked any forums specific to Monte Carlo mods? Sometimes you can find some detailed guides there.

Good idea! I’ll look into that. Thanks!
I love the Monte Carlo. Good luck with the swap! Let us know how it goes.
