Hello all,
I have a rather strange question on a kind of "not worth it" car. I have a buddy who recently blew the auto (4T80E) transmission out of his Oldsmobile Aurora. Since this car is one heck of a beast (not like my Concours, of course), he is interested in putting a manual transmission in the aurora. I know that the engines in these Olds cars have the exact same tranny bolt pattern as it's bigger caddy brothers and sisters, so I was wondering - Has anyone ever seen a North* powered FWD caddy or aurora with a manual transmission......or even better yet, is it possible? If this was rear-wheel drive, It would be a snap.....but of course it isn't that perfect of a situation. Thanks for any help, as it is always appreciated.
Later!
Jason
