Powertrain Options and Availability
By 1990, Corsicas had a standard 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine that made 95 horsepower, and an optional 3.1-liter V6 rated 135 horsepower (later 140). The 2.2-liter had an Isuzu-built 5-speed manual gearbox, while the V6 got a Muncie-Getrag stick. Output of the base engine grew to 110 horsepower for 1992, then to 120 for '94. Also in 1994, the V6 gained 20 horsepower, now rated at 160. A year later, the V6 lost five horsepower. Through 1991, all models could have 5-speed manual shift, but from 1992 on, only automatic was available with the V6. In 1994, a new 4-speed automatic transmission went into V6 Corsicas, but 4-cylinder models retained the prior 3-speed automatic and manual shift disappeared completely.
