2005 9-3 - 5 speed manual instead of 6 speed

May 10, 2005 8 Replies

Hello,



Has anyone heard why the 9-3 is offered with a 5-speed manual instead of



6-speed in 2005?

The six-speed manual is only in the Aero model as far as I know.

The six-speed manual was only on the 2004 Aero. For 2005, all the US models have the five-speed manual as standard equipment. The six-speed is no longer available here.

Nothing about a 6-speed at

for the aero. Is it because they introduced the silly hill-holder and could not retrofit it on the 6-speed?

Supply-side issues with the German gearbox supplier. It will be back for

2006.

Thankfully I got a 2004 with the 6-speed.

Is this the same 6 speed box as in the Opel Vectra with the Ecotech engine?
