Transmission Swap

Is it possible to swap a later model 6-speed transmission into this car with the vg30. If it is possible let me know of what year and model car I can get a transmission from to get.

nope, only other trans you can use is a VE30DE manual trans and you have to swap over axles and other stuff. VQ transmission wont bolt up to a VG

He meant the adapter plate for the VQ trans. VE bolts up.

I'm being a smart a$$! But if you had an adaptive plate between the VG and the 6 spd M/T....I' m sure the VE30 and VQ inboard driveshaft are the same splines but the different length unsure but The Driveshaft Shop can build Hybrid axles! Anyway I found 3 M/T in the junkyard yesterday.... VG30 3rd Gen, VQ30 4th Gen, and 5th Gen. I'm eager to swap the 4th to a M/T but I like cruising that A/T alot....
