I don't think a Tremec will mount to an Ecotec. Besides being a 6 speed and being able to handle a lot of power and torque it isn't really that great. I had one in my 04 GTO and it was very notchy and clunky and wasn't very enjoyable in the cold eather. The only reason I'd put a T56 in my sol was if I dropped an LSX engine in it.

I know the C6 has a rear trans, but I believe the C5 is mated to the engine.
