Would definately be a pain. 2.2L did come wiht a 5 speed tranny. Not difficult to find. It will bolt right up to your 2.2L (I replaced an angine on a 5spd with one from an auto so reverse is true too.   But you will also need the shift cables and shifter, which is actually the easy part. You will need to get a cluth master cylinder, clutch pedal and related components, make it all work nice, then top it all off with reprograming the ecu.

#8 of 23 No 1st 2nd on my 88 z24, by jtchurch22 Jan 05, 2007 (9:21 pm)
I changed my clutch put everything back together and when all was said and done i don't have a 1st or 2nd, well they feel the same. I noticed my selector cable bold is loose on the tranny side, but i can't seem to tighten it. Could this be the answer to all my problems.

probly i would definitly try if you have to buy a manual on the vehicle it will save time and headache. if you get the bolt tightened and thats not it check the shifting components.
#11 of 23 Transmission Conversion 2005 Cavalier LS by jbear0503 Jun 11, 2007 (10:52 am)
Replying to: bunt21_g (Feb 27, 2007 12:00 pm) Just started researching on how to convert an automatic to manual transmission and wondering where to start. I am adding a body kit to my car, new paint, new rims and tires, and thinking a 5 speed transmission would be a nice addtion as well. Any suggestions as to how, where or who could do this would be greately appreciated. Or if anyone has any reason that it shouldn't be done would be nice to know as well.
#12 of 23 Clutch problems by whsolm Mar 31, 2008 (6:50 pm)
Hey, well i have a 2.2 5 speed 97 cavy and just recently when i push my clutch pedal down you have to push it completely to the floor to get it into gear. about 3/4 of the way down is when you can finally get it into gear. It feels like a cable is loose but i really dont know the name of it. Can Someone help?
#13 of 23 Dyeing Auto tranny, possible conversion? by litestorm17 Oct 14, 2008 (11:25 pm)
I have a 1998 Chevy Cavalier Z24 with a 2.4L twin cam, and I am pretty sure the automatic transmission is going on it. Would it be cheaper to get the parts out of a junker manual Cavalier of the same type and do a Manual Conversion, or get a new automatic transmission? I really don't like driving automatic, and I don't want to get rid of the car because I have put some performance/body mods on it that I don't want to try take off. I know it's not too difficult to do a swap, but is it cheaper?
#14 of 23 possible tranny problems? by rodger9440 Nov 13, 2008 (4:50 pm)
i have a 1996 cavalier and i know it needs a new clutch but now reverse is gone it has more room then it should for the shifter to move when in reverse position.. i have been told its because of the clutch. i have also been told that its something internally in the tranny because the other gears are fine. does anyone know what may be causing this?
