What's transmissions are compatible

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! The name of the transmission is a great question! Let's call it Sam for now though! All silliness aside, the 2006 PT Cruiser typically uses the G288 5-speed manual transmission, which is specific to Chrysler vehicles. While it's not directly interchangeable with transmissions from other car brands, similar transmissions might be found in other Chrysler vehicles of similar vintage or models, like the Dodge Neon or Chrysler Neon. That being said, compatibility depends on various factors such as engine size, drivetrain configuration, and specific transmission specifications. It's essential to ensure compatibility before attempting a swap. Call your local dealer and give them your VIN. They will be able to give you Sam's part number and maybe even cross-check what other Chrysler/Dodge transmissions are compatible.
