Transmission pan drain plug 3800 v6

The filter did break off

Yep, you need a new filter for sure, along with your new pan. Might as well put in a Transgo kit while you are that deep into her.

The top of the filter broke off

Damn that's too much work, i don't have the need to do that my car shifts fine

 

[Jason97GrandprixGT]

I finally took the broken filter piece out now ill just install my new filter and pan and hope it runs like a champ

 

[Booba5185]

All 4t65e's need that kit, every one of them. You've already done 95% of the work already, lol.

yeah dude you should do the shift kit. I did it last friday. Literally takes about half an hour more work than just fluid and filter. It's just like 3 springs and 6 shims. If you have to order a pan, order that shift kit too. Your trans will thank you, shifting fine now or not..

What do that transgo kit does?

Please tell me your grammar is just shorthand?

Either way it helps with hard shifts. If you have none now, you will eventually

 

[Jason97GrandprixGT]

Oh ok I'll install that another day because I do love my car and wants the finest parts for her

 

[Booba5185]

Then add a cooler, install this kit, run Dex VI fluid, get a tune, and add a bottle of Lubeguard red. Your transmission will thank you and live a long life...for a stockish engine. Unless you have something older than 03, then you might have problems with overdrive eventually.

I have a 97 gt coupe

I have a 97 gt coupe

That's a 4t60 trans..not sure the shift kit works in that trans

 

[Booba5185]

That's a game changer. You have a 4T60e then. It's a different shift kit for it, so nevermind.

 

[Jason97GrandprixGT]

I have a later year engine on it though because my alternator assembly is different than the regular 97 assembly setup

 

[timboku]

All 97 na motors got the 4t60e...best way to see if it was upgraded is to see if there is a vacuum line that goes from the throttle body to the front of the trans (vacuum modulator)..if so you got a 60.
