Yes, the 6-speed manual Aisin AY6 was the standard transmission in the 2005 Cadillac CTS. There is a picture of it on page 1 of this thread. Here's another from the 2007 GM archives:

Here is a picture of the 5-speed automatic.

Some, of the wiring on this engine is for the transmission. But I don't know if it is the same for manual and automatics. I suspect not. I am looking for a service manual that doesn't cost more than what I spent on the engine.

Marco,
Yeah, the 80's were not known for powerful engines. Today's V-8 engines are a marvel of power and efficiency. That 'trickles down' to the V-6 engines, too.

Although, FWD, the GM J-cars also got the 2.8 back in the 80's. I hate to admit, but I really like the 85 Olds Firenza Hatchback. Here's a concept vehicle built off of one:

This engine I just bought is all-aluminum, DOHC-VVT, SFI, and RWD - 173 CI with 210 HP and 195 PF. The only thing in common with the 1980 2.8 is that they are both a 60-degree V-6.

I still prefer the LQ1, but I couldn't pass up this deal. It looks much better WITHOUT that engine cover. I'll try to post some pictures of my engine - no cover, cool plenum( and miles of wiring ). Looks very much like that picture, though.
I am not even sure if I can ever get this running in an H-Body. But, I will try. If I can ever find the time.
First thing is to just figure out how to get it mounted. The low-mounted A/C compressor(easy to remove) and the alternator may not fit between the frame rails. The oil pan looks like a problem, too.
My odd-ball V-6 Astre won't start, so I may use it as a mule to test fit this engine. But, ultimately, the Astre is getting a Pontiac V-8.
