Auto to manual swap
 

does anyone know if someone has changed their Auto HHR to a Manual? Is it possible? any details on this?
thanks

I don't know if anyone has done it, but you would need:
Manual transaxle/clutch
axle shafts?
new gearbox
computer/harnesses
and probably other nuts and bolts

also, I could be wrong but the engine is may not be in the same exact location as the manual.

Good Luck with the swap if you go thru with it:twothumbs:

can you say.........Trade - In ?????:D

not for me, but a friend of mine wants to do this and trying to get some info on it before hand...i also think the rad would have to be changed as well..hes got the skills just trying to finalize the items needed process :)

The only practical way to do it is to buy a salvage manual hhr and start swapping parts. Shifters,clutch master and linkage,PCM,misc sensors,flywheel,ect it's a lot of parts and a lot of work but anything can be done given time and money. :smile:

....Clutch pedal and mounting hardware. Std trans brake pedal.(yeah it's different) and on and on and on-----

Cost not justifiable...too many different parts not to mention the reprogramming (electronics) involved..not just a bolt in swap like ...the old days. Plus theres different gearing which actually falls under the reprogramming nightmare...trade it in..start over

With hhr it doesn't make any sense. Sell auto and buy manual.
