Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post - 6 speed manual transmision in the Solstice

I would really be concerned about the transmisson length. While I was in college (many years ago) I read a for sale ad for a Bug Eye Sprite that the owner had dropped in a Chevy 283. The ad went on to talk about performance and ended with the comment that the car had a 3-speed transmission because a 4-speed wouldn't fit. I'd be concerned about the same possible problem with the Solstice. By the way, I'll bet that Sprite could really run fast in a straight line.
