Trade your car in for an auto. By the time you get the auto in your car you'll wish you had. You'll need a auto trans, computer, auto linkage, I'm sure the mounts are different, etc etc etc... Just trade it in. Or see if you can find someone that wants a 5 speed, and trade with them. New cars just aren't like there older counterparts, you can't just swap things out and have it run like it did before with out spending alot of cash.

the hassle to swap the trans would be quite a job as already mentioned. best thing for you is to trade the car in

ya thats bad part i mean unless u know a macaniche that is a good friend wont kill you in price then thats good but ya id trade it in.

Trade it. The cost of swapping trannys and all the other essentials will probably cost just as much as getting another car. It just takes an extra month and a friken headache.

thank you all for your input, but due to how much i owe on it im thinking about buying a second car for cheap like 800 or less and keep the cobalt for a back up car, or maybe a project car
But if my landlord doesn't allow me to keep the extra car in the drive ill have to trade it in for a cheap car.

I would hate to have to give up my manual Cobalt. I love it. I actually drove a 2006 4 door auto Cobalt but I saw my Dad have fun driving his manual Ford Mustang and I fell in love with the idea of driving a stick shift. So I traded my auto for a manual 2009 2 door Cobalt and I'm in love! I'm sorry you have to give up driving it.
