Thread: Comp G trans in a non Comp G

My trans is on it's last leg, slipping, banging if I manual downshift into 2nd (I don't do this often, just did it for diagnostics), making my car slower than a base model so... I want to run 3.29s and the most cost effective way would be to get a G trans and swap it in. However, I'm having trouble figuring out if I can run a G trans without swapping in the tap shift junk or changing other componants to get it done. Has anybody done it this way or would I just be better off getting an HD trans and a gear set?

I know I will need axles since I'm updating from a GT trans, and I may get some hardened parts, and a baby stall but I will probably wait until next year for that stuff since this trans probably won't make it in until August and the season ends late October/ Early November around here.

Need wheels to make it to the bar.

he seemed to have found it just fine on foot last time i saw him.

I have a beater, so I'm not worried about finding my way to the bar.

I have HPT and am prepared to change the tables for 3.29s either way I go, I just don't want to install it and find out it has to be connected to the tap shift buttons to not throw codes or to run right. That is my main concern.

I would just get a non-tapshift 04+ tranny, I'd see if Tim King can do one if he's still running that special.

Thanks for the info guys. Just to make things simple, I'll probably just get an 04+ HD trans and have it rebuilt with a 3.29 gear set to finish out the year. If it breaks, it breaks and I go bigger next year.

I don't have an HD trans right now... My car is an 04 GT2 so it just came with a 4T65E.

Just get a junk yard trans and swap the chain yourself. Its pretty easy to do.
