5spd on a '98 GTP
I'm hoping someone in here has the answer I'm looking for and that is whether or not a 5spd manual can be mated to the series II 3800(l67)...Getrag 284 or maybe an F23. I have a 284 at my disposal if I want it but I'm unsure whether it will work with my 98 GTP. I saw a couple years ago on cardomain a guy put a 284 with his series I in his Reatta(he also put an eaton on it...F'n sweet). If anyone has any knowledge of this...any info would be greatly appreciated.

No Knowledge from me...
I can point you to this site. He is looking for "ginea pigs" who want a manual installed into their 3800. www.milzymotorsports.com

Re: 5spd on a '98 GTP
I'm pretty sure there's only one guy with a manual trans in his GP (6 speed atleast). He just finished it not too long ago.
http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/j...t=DSCN0616.flv - There's a vid of him going 0-100 in only 3rd. http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/j...t=DSCN0456.flv - There's another random vid of it.

Re: 5spd on a '98 GTP
GM never offered a manual FWD transaxle behind the 3800 (N/A or Supercharged) because none of their available manual transaxles would handle the torque without extensive strengthening. The bean counters running GM didn't see enough of a demand to warrant the uprading needed, so it wasn't offered. As an example of demand, the 88-91 GP's had a manual gearbox offered with the 3.1 and 3.4 DOHC V-6's(as these engines didn't produce the torque the 3800 does), but very few were ordered or produced. I agree that a 5 or 6 speed manual gearbox would be awesome.
