Nice car!! The transmission is an "Aisin" RPO MA5, AR5 Transmission. It has a .73 Over drive.Transmission is made in Japan . While GM did use it in the H3 , it can have some issues with syncros, and the shift knob vibrates some and make a noise. Its NOT a trans you can skip clutching with or beat on. 260 ft/lb of torque is MAX....
Stock, the Non Turbo Solstice is a 50/50 car and can go around a DROP of Ice Cream in the middle of the road without slowing down!! . The LS weighs a bunch more, so be careful to keep the rear in check on corners. Good luck!!
