I had a '98 GTP with everything but the sunroof. I'd still have that car if I weren't diabetic (long story). In the meantime, I had a 2001 Olds Aurora whose Shortstar seems to have committed seppuku. I am cash-starved and need a way to drive to work.
So, I have basically two options. There's a 2001 Bonneville SE which may or may not have cat issues. And there's a 97 GP GT which is so much like the GTP, it actually even has the plug missing from the front license plate bracket, just as mine did.
I'd forgotten about the 4T60-E thing until this morning. The 4T65-E HD on the GTP was the best transmission I've ever had. I've lost at least one, and possibly three, 60's in my GM history.
I've done some searching on the forums here, and opinions vary from "the 60 sucks," to "the 60 is fine if all you're going to do is daily driving." So, I guess I'm asking you guys to either talk me out of buying the GP GT, or talk me into it. Will I really have problems with the 60 in the GT? Should it survive until I can afford to either sell it or swap in a 65?
