It has the Toyota auto that came with engine. I think the Castlemain Rod shop in Vic, is making adaptor kits to fit manual boxes and GM auto's.

Thats a very unique transplant, how does it go compared to the ecotec? I guess its faster? Any problems installing it?

That depends on what you've done to the ecotec I guess. It's a 4.0L engine which makes it roughly the same capacity. I aiming for 300rwhp on low boost but time will tell, the engine is pretty much stock. No apparent problems installing, a few things had to be rearanged. For example the ABS unit was turned upside down. A lot of information can be found at lextreme.com
