Hey eric First of your videos are amazingly detailed and i learn every time i watch, Your dedication to the channel and your work is awesome!

I have a 1991 oldsmobile cutlass calais, The car has a 2.5l iron duke, An engine from several other GM cars, I am considering doing a manual swap, the car has a thm125 automatic three speed, the only available transmission that is manual is a getrag 282 or Muncie 282, out of a pontiac fiero, a Rear engine rwd car, My question is, Considering hte pontiac trans is on the other side, My question is should i be conerned about ransmission mounts and trans pan clearence andthings like that swapping a rear engine trans into my fwd Olds. Also any other advice for a manual swap?I have no problem fabricating custom mounts or whatever

Also my 2005 chevy Malibu has a recurring 8 random codes including fuel and traction control, yada yada yada and they come on and come off randomly sometimes comes on when I floor it. Could these all be one simple issue?

Thanks

Update: I have gotten it to work if I hold the shifter sternly in reverse it will work but I have to be light with the clutch, or it will pop out of gear,
Otherwise it will just grind like I never pressed the clutch?

Are those componets easy/worth replacing,if the trans is still in a good condition. I have space and can drop the trany but don’t want to if its not necessary, THe impending clutch replacement will have it out of the car anyway.
