Cruze 1.8 6mt on sonic 1.8?

[Goneau]

Just out of curiousity, say I were to junk my tranny, or even just want a new one, would it be feasible to put the 1.8 6 speed Cruze transmission into the Sonic? It's the same engine but would there be any issues? I ask this because sht if i could find a junked 1.8 Cruze i'd gladly pay for a 6 speed trans in my 1.8. Input please

The MZ0 as fitted to 1.8 Cruzes:

Final Drive/R&P: 3.94

1st: 3.82
2nd: 2.16
3rd: 1.48
4th: 1.07
5th: 0.88
6th: 0.74

F17 M26 5 speed.

FDR: 3.94

1st: 3.73
2nd: 2.14
3rd: 1.41
4th: 1.12
5th: 0.89

Rev: 3.31


As far as sporty driving goes I dont think the extra overdrive would make it to much sportier. 1-5 are fairly close between the two transmissions. The big difference is the 0.74 6th gear.

Not sure if the 1.8 6 speed applied to this, but the part numbers for the shift cables differ between the 5 speed and 6 speed for the Sonic. I would assume the 1.8 6 speed uses the same cables and shifter assembly as the 1.4 6 speed.

The trick with putting the M32 in a F17 equipped 1.8 Sonic may require:

- M32 1.4t Sonic shifter and cables
- M32 trans mount/s
- M32 axles and intermediate shaft?
- No one yet knows whether the reverse switch, VSS, etc. are the same/compatible between the two transmissions.

The axle shafts may or may not be the same. I can't remember from when I was researching the six speed swap. I might have some homework tonight.

sound like it would honestly just trade it in for a 6 speed
