In the 8g Galant there is no manual tranny whatsoever. They do have 6 and 4 cyl engins.

you can do a swap for a 3g eclipse manual tranny though.

and if im not mistaken your v6 is the same as ours but i think yours is a little more beefed up. not sure though.

There are 8g Galants produced with manual transmissions. However, they are not sold in the United States. My apologies for the members that just assumed you defaulted to the U.S. models only.

One look at Club 3G's problem reports forum and you'll know why I say, "so why'd they do it?" :wink:

Uh, which side of the engine bay does your engine sit? IE where's your accessories lay? Ours (Diamante's, well, first gen Diamante's anyway...) sit so the accessories are on the left side of the car.
