I really like my Stratus ES V6, but I wish it had a 5-speed manual transaxle. I have close to 117,000 miles on it now and don't expect the auto-transaxle to get me past 150,000. Given the cost to replace it when it finally does fail, I am considering replacing it with a 5-speed. Seems it would probably cost the same, if not less.
Q: Is there a 5-speed manual transaxle that will bolt up to the Mitsubishi
2.5L V6 that is used in the Cirrus, Stratus, and Sebring cars?The transaxles used on the 3.0L are not interchangeable between Mitsubishi and Chrysler cars as the engine orientation is reversed. If this is true for all Mitsubishi transaxles it would seem the transaxle would have to be designed for a Chrysler application.
Obviously I will also need a flywheel that bolts up to the 2.5L V6 crankshaft.
Is this possible (within reason)?
