I just got my first J-boby and I was wondering if a 4 cylinder 5-speed tranny will bolt on to a 3.1 v6 because my sunbird gt is an automatic and i can't stand it, and the only tranny i can find right now is on a 4 cylinder sunbird LE?
i dont think so i am not 100% positive but if the le is a 2.0 i dont think that tranny will work on a 3.1 i could be wrong though but i am sure if you look hard enough you can find a tranny off a v6 infact i am positive you can
Pretty sure that the 2.0 ohc and ohv have different bolt patterns, but the 2.0 and 2.2 ohv should have the same pattern as the 2.8/3.1 liter. I'm pretty that just the 2.0 ohc had the different bolt pattern. But i'm not sure which year the sunbirds got the 2.0 ohv, so i can't help you out there. But so a search and i'm sure you'll find lots of interesting info on your perticular swap.
