    When you jump the plug at the shifter it powers the coil in that thing all the time when the car is on. I think it will eventually fail when I really need it not to. So I took it out when I fixed my column today. And it didn't effect anything. (That I know of anyway)

    Maybe a little video of the trans/ setup? Think your set up will be reliable or will little gremlins cause problems for the average guy?

    Well the only possible future issues in my mind is programing. The dealer I go to can't do much because it fails the system check using the vin. I haven't really gotten around this. But the 09.5 may be different because of the gxp.
    But as far as mechanical I don't see a problem.
    If I ever sell the car I would rather sell it to a knowledgeable mechanicly incline person.

    Cars in storage but its all factory parts. Same as a gxp. I dunno why you want a video.

    Is the GXP transmission the only one that can be used for the conversion without trouble fitting it? and is there a lot of work involved in fitting a camaro 6 speed?

    Gxp is no doubt your best bet.
    Postion42 tried a Camaro and ended up getting the gxp.

    The Camaro Trans is longer. The bell housing is longer so that makes changes to: shifter linkage, drives haft, cooler lines
    All those will need modified.
    Gxp is your best bet.
    If you want to do the conversion pm me and I will give you all the info.

    This is really tempting to me. Maybe my winter project. Can I remove the auto and install the manual with all the mods without pulling the front end and engine out? I'm not planning any engine mods and that would save a lot of effort. thanks.

    Yeah you can. That's how I would do it if I only did the tranny.
