I'll be replacing my trans with a rebuilt from "Triple Edge Performance" due to my "forward apply band" took a dump. Symptoms: car won't move in D, or 3, but will slip badly in 2, and will move somewhat better in 1, reverse is fine.
Thanks for your post. It will be helpful when I remove mine.

Turbo is the way to go.

depends, if you have a tranny for them to install then less, but if you have them rebuild and install it will be more
with your own tranny prolly 800-1200, depending on what kind of shop
they rebuild your tranny and install: prolly 1500-2000
Im just guessing here, but its more like from what i heard kinda guess's.
call a few places and see what they say

My only concern, maybe I missed it, but how do you lift the car up high enough to slide the trans out from under the car? I'm used to doing this on a lift, but not on the
floor.

It's easy. One other trick. If you don't have enough extension for the backwards bolt. lower the ps pump as mentioned, then use about 12" extension under the exhaust manifold. You can do it that way as well.

I guess I didn't realize how much had to come off to pull a transmission

I am going to attempt to pull a transmission out of a 1998 Grand Prix non-supercharged. I read your article and still have a couple of questions. How high do you need it off the ground? How would you make or where do you purchase the hoist u were talking about to hold the motor up. And will you end up pulling the entire subframe out before the transmission will drop? Thanks a ton man.

I added some pictures of how high I go. Pretty much the limit of your jack. Depending on how you raise and lower the transmission will matter. I have an ATV jack that I use to lift/lower the trans and it works great. Takes up a few extra inches though.

I know I'm a noob to this particular subject but do u know whether I could use this same write up to take the tranny from my 07 impala I want to do my own write up for removal (i have yet to find one thus why im on the grand prix forums but I still plan using a chilton manual (but those things get me into more trouble than I can get out of) but I bought the TEP parts and they are sitting on my washer and I look at them everyday thinking Well my tranny guy told me he'd rebuild it for 300 if I could get the trans out and to his shop. Sigh

its should be very close if not all the same really. its just a matter of unbolting it all and un hooking the lines and wires and shift linkage and so on.

Ok I figured it would be just differences in what to disconnect on the motor I've only done rear wheel drives in the past
