Default Manual transmission trailblazer.

anyone have one or have pictures of one? I know they must have made them in the base model.

i need pictures of the console setup. if someone has one I need measurements from the back of the engine to the shifter...

99.9% sure they never made them. My wife has a base model and the auto trans was standard.

I would have bought one 4 years ago if they had one. A smart *** old salesman looked at me like I was stupid and said, "why would you want a manual?" I wanted slap him. Everytime i've gone to look for a new truck they rarely have a manual on the lot and then want to analize me about why I didn't want an automatic and even get rude with me about it. Some people just don't understand. At least you used to be able to get a 2 door Tahoe/Blazer in a 5 speed, but not anymore, much less an ECSB truck.
Good luck with the swap though. Some peddles out of a Colorado or old S10 might work well?

thoughts on this?
Colorado = Pedals/slave cylinder
SSR = possibly the crossmember
aftermarket = clutch, FW
GM = Close ratio t-56 (same gearing as GTO/04 zo6) - Efans.
Nelson = Custom tune, efan harness
custom = driveshaft? Crossmember? - I'm thinking the TB driveshaft will bolt right in.

some more things I need is the distance of a 4L60E from the front of the trans where it bolts on to the engine, to the crossmember mounting position, and the distance from the centerline of the output shaft to the Xmember mount.

If the question is: Is their a Manual available or was available in the Trailblazer product line. The answer is No. GM did not offer manual on the Trailblazer, Envoy etc on any model.

And there won't be any manuals available at all in the new Silverado/Sierra line either. ALL 100% automatics. The new 6spd auto is coming.

Ok. Then I guess I've already bought my last NEW GM truck then.

I hear ya...Sorry. I was sad to find that out too. The manual is ever so slowly fading out of society.
