Is your trans out already or do you want to convert? If you convert, you will need the wiring harness and the ecm from the auto along with the mounts. I dont know if the axles are the same.
I can relate to that I just got out of the ER last night for back pain. Got 2 shots in my butt. I am going to an Ortho surgeon next Tuesday. I bought my Aveo because it was easier to get in and out of than my Metro. My wife drives the Metro now and loves that stupid thing. She hatted the Metro when I bought it and refussed to even ride in it until she had to drive it when her BMW broke down. I sold the BMW and she kept the Metro.
