  1. General Tech
    So my 2000 GTP I had originally intended to sell ASAP due to various things (lots of rust and the tranny failing) but it seems I’ll have to at least make it last through the North Dakota winter in order to get the money for a nicer one. Pulling the trans through the bottom is not an option for...
  2. DTC's, Problems & Troubleshooting
    I have a 2000 GTP that I picked up awhile ago and I'm planning on selling it for what I can (Rockers are basically gone and I'm not spending the money to build power on a car with a crap body) but if I'm gonna get even close to what I want I need to do some work. One of those things in the...
  3. General Tech
    So I've finally gotten myself a GTP, really fun car so far but it does have some issues with it. First off the rockers are basically gone, my plan is to weld reinforcement metal in but I'm not sure how to go about that quite yet any suggestions are welcome. Secondly, the transmission is a little...
  4. Sensors
    So I've recently been checking and messing with my transmission (4t60e 210k) and so far I haven't been able to figure out how to get a temp reading from it. I've tried Torque with a scan tool with no read. It doesn't have a gauge either.
  5. RWD 3800 Engine Swaps
    I’ve got an old Buick with a supercharged 3800 series motor that’s front wheel drive. I was planning on putting it into a 85 rx7 but I don’t know if the front wheel drive motor can bolt up to any rear wheel drive transmissions, can I use a fwd motor for a rwd application? And what transmissions...

    Need to know how much power a stock 4t60-e can handle I know their pretty weak but how weak. If I replace it with the HD will I have any problems (92 Lesabre). Would like to get lowering springs, or coilovers, but can't find any, so if anyone knows where to pick some up let me know. Any answers...
  7. FWD 3800 Engine Swaps
    Hey y'all, My 1988 Electra suffered a piston ejection, and needs a new engine. I've taken junking the car off the table, as it simply holds too much intangible value. The now-dead engine is a Pre-Series 1 3800, n.a. That said, I have access to a Series III n.a. 3800 from a 2006 Pontiac Grand...
  8. For Sale
    The car was great before the accident, two owners,no leaks, transmission responsive and smooth, strong engine 115k, supercharged, the car had no dents or scratches, radiators are damaged, front frame is damaged, engine and transmission still work, car still moves on its own, car is complete...
  9. RWD 3800 Engine Swaps
    I have a NA Series III out of a '04 Grand Prix with the PCM, harness, fuse block, etc. The engine is going into a Triumph TR7 and I've been looking at transmissions. I can get my hands on a 700r4 and an adapter plate for reasonable money and was going to go that route, but I now have a line on a...
  10. FWD Transaxle Components
    Gentlemen: I am fairly new to the 3800 scene, but I am a HD Diesel mechanic with quite a bit of experience and I am ready to start tinkering in the automotive world. I did my homework and research and decided a SC 3.8 is the perfect platform for me. I have had some exerience with NA 3.8s but...
  11. FWD 3800 Engine Swaps
    So I have a quick question, I have a 2002 LeSabre with a cracked head and I want to drop a supercharged L67 into it, but a friend warned me about needing a different ECU to match the new motor. I can't seem to find anywhere online where this process has been done and I'm new to "flashing" ECU's...

    Anyone know of a 4T65E GM racing trans for sale or anyone have a 1" chain drive for sale? Can't go with an intense or ZZP trans because they will only hold up to around 400 WHP. Need a trans that will hold up to around 600 WHP Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
  13. DTC's, Problems & Troubleshooting
    A friend of mine just asked me if the tranny out of an SE would work in his GTP. The SE is the same year as his GTP, 98, and has a 3800, Not the 3100. Would it work, and would anything need changed? Thanks in advance.

  16. Motor & Trans Mounts
    New to this forum (but not to car forums in general so I'll skip all the noob garbage if you do) and looking for a realistic approach to upgrading the engine mounts. I just bought an '02 SSEi for a daily driver. My ZR2 sucks enough gas as is. 15-30 mpg sounds a lot better than 5-10 this summer...

    will a 4t65e bolt up to a series 1 (l27) engine that had a 4t60e?I want to adapt a obdII computer to my series one for tunability and the trans looks like the only hurdle. Thanks in advance for any input.
  19. FWD Transaxle Components
    Well I bought a 00 ss monte as a repairable and i found out i needed a tranny, identification lmb gear ratio 3.29. My Qs are: 1. Is this one of the better trannys that came with this car? 2. Why would someone say that the 3.29 gear ratio kills your engine? 3. What can i expect for comparison of...
  20. Naturally Aspirated
    Hi, I'm just new, I own a 2000 Impala LS, have been problems lately with the trannie, and there are a few issues really worth mentioning; at highway speeds the car shutters (80 km/h and beyond) and refuses to go into gear (especially 3 & 4) Second biggest is that sometimes (very randomly) when...
