    certainly should be able to. is yours an ecotec or alloytec? just make sure its from the same engine from what i remember, correct me if im wrong someone. your cheapest bet would proble be eBay mate.

    It's an Ls Engine, Meaning neither. Your looking for a T56.

    However do a search, Whether it Google or JC this topic has been covered a million times.

    Hey there h.alfarsi,

    The 6-speed manual transmission that originally comes with the V8 is called a Tremec T56. Its probably best to order it and get it installed at your GM dealer. Big job, best to get it done properly.

    Here's some more info on the transmission:

    The only Exec in Saudi that's now properly badged!
