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

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.

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
