Pontiac Solstice stick runs a T56 not a T5 transmission, the T56 is a physically large transmission.

I thought the Solstice ran an Aisin?

Yep, the Aisin with the huge gaps between ratios, that make it more a truck trans than anything passenger car related. GM deserved to fail pawning that stuff off on their customers.
Apparently you can regear it with Supra parts.

It appears that you can bolt a R154 (or a W58, NV3550, etc) up to a Aisin AR5 bellhousing. ... I haven't tried it so I can't say "yes it fits".
