March 5, 200719 yr I may be late to the game, but I just noticed that the Sport Package (3.9 liter and 6 speed manual) no longer shows up on the Pontiac G6 website as an option. Does anyone know if this has been canceled for good? I noticed it doesn't appear on Edmunds, either.
March 5, 200719 yr No, it's gone. From the ordering guide: -Mechanical section-Deleted (MU9) Transmission, 6-speed manual entirely. Week of 12/4/2006 That option only lasted for a year and a few weeks. Only ones left are dealer stock. I wouldn't miss it. A lot of owners were complaining about reliability issues with the tranny unit.
March 5, 200719 yr Good riddance to the transmission and engine.The engine's still around though, only available on the Convertible.
March 5, 200719 yr That transmission, turned me off. I was gonna order one. But when I drove it it felt like putting my *ick in Ann-Coulter.

March 29, 200718 yr Not until they come up with a reliable one mated with the 3.6L. I know my car's RWD.....but the Aisin 6-speed manual in my CTS Sport is a BEAUTIFUL tranny......by FAR the smoothest-shifting GM manual transmission powertrain I've ever driven. It mates pretty well with the 3.6L HF V6......

It mates pretty well with the 3.6L HF V6...... Aisin's not GM's. It's Toyota's.But you just answered your own question. RWD = Longitudinal and FWD = Traversal. The only traversal manual unit GM has is the FGP and the Getrag. Getrag can't handle the torque, so it's only mated to the 2.2L, and it's only a 5-speed. I really couldn't see this gen of G6 ever getting a manual again.
