5 speed in a newer w

[Dirty Rockstar]

Hey gang. I have been tossing this idea around since I bought my 2000 Intrigue. I would LOVE driving Bagheera more if he had a five speed.

 

Mechanically, I am sure I can get the shifter in, the transmission bolted, etc. but I have been hung up on axles, intermediate shaft brackets, etc.

 

I'm no stranger to making things go places they were never meant to. I guess I am looking for axle lengths for a factory 2000 Intrigue setup, 282 and 284 axle lengths, what kind of computer programming is necessary, etc.

 

I think right now my biggest hangups are A) how to I add a clutch pedal to a car which was never intended to have it, and Where the hell am I going to find the parts I need?

 

Spline counts and lengths are what I am stuck up on. Baggy would be a hell of a lot more fun to drive if I could mash the gears, throw on a set of 17s or 18s and drop him as low to the ground as I can.

 

Just some thoughts. The Fiero guys can put a Space Shuttle propulsion system in, so I think there is a way for me to mash the gears screaming down the interstate.

You need to PM Kuntzie, he 5 speed swapped his 01 GP GT. There was some custom fabrication required, Matt (GOT2B GM) helped out a bit with that.
