I have had issues with my venture. Just wondering if you could put a Manuel transmission in it.

To the best of my knowledge, ALL "Venture" vans were sold with a 3.4L engine and the 4T65E automatic transmission. Front wheel drive transverse mounted manuAl transmission...that's going to take a bit of research.

Have you tried changing the fluid and filter?


NOTE: Haven't read anything different about AWD transmissions, could just be a transfer case thing.

I've heard the Regal GS FWD had an available manual transmission. Not sure what it would take to swap it into a Venture, needs more research.

Default Check the Opel Sintra specs

Hi Adam,

Don't know if you are still looking into this, but the US made export/Euro spec cars came with 5 speed manual transmission. I own a manual UK version, so can always take a look at it if it helps. They were badged Opel Sintras if you want to Google that.
