does anybody know if the chevy cruze auto transmission would work as a swap in our cars, I'm sure the bellhousing bolts would be the same, and the electronics are can-bus, so they should talk, what I think the deciding factor will be is this:
does the cobalt and cruze have a seperate TCM?
how close are the mount bolts?
is the spline and size of the axles the same
this is truely theoretical at this point, but it's something I have been thinking
I want to keep my auto trans, but hate the 4 speed, the cruze LTZ comes with a 6 speed auto, which SHOULD be much better for accelleration and also fuel economy.
I just figured I would bounce this off the Gurus here...and see what came back, to see if I should put more effort into the research and obtaining this
go do more homework everything is different i mean everything, the na version of a cruze that has 1.8L is the same a last generation aveo but just engine
"The 6T40 made its debut in the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, available with the 2.4 litre LE5 Ecotec engine making 164 horsepower (122 kW), and has since also be made available on the Chevrolet Cruze, Daewoo Tosca and Buick LaCrosse."
from the wikipedia page for 6t40 the 6speed auto used in malibus
anything can be made to work mechanically, the real question will be can one make the computers talk the way they need to?
also dated a girl with a cruze and the slap shift mode can be pretty fun
Cool so I have the 6t40. I do have to say it's a good match with the 2.4.
