• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Tranny cooler or no cooler?

    Hopefully going to be switching out the 4T65E tranny in my GT for a lower mileage one soon. I was thinking about the flushing of the tranny cooler and whether a tranny cooler was even necessary. I know the theory behind the cooler is to keep the fluid cooler and cleaner, thereby keeping it going...

    Is this too cheap for a rebuild

    I decided that while the engine is out of my '99 GT I will do a transmission swap as well. I have never driven the car due to rod knock when I bought it, but it does have 199xxx miles on it. I have sourced several transmissions through car-part and most are over 100K for around $500. There is a...

    New 2006 L26

    I found a good deal on a 2006 L26 with 103K for $350 to replace the L36 in my 99 GT. Should I replace all the gaskets before I install the engine or just wait until there's a problem? I can't really decide which way to go so help me make a decision.

    Engine out...was hoping it was a cracked flex plate but it wasn't

    Like the title says I finally got around to pulling the engine out of my GT. Was hoping that the knocking sound was just a cracked flex plate. But that wasn't the case. This is what I found in the oil pan [/IMG] Looks like I'm on the hunt for a replacement engine. I bought the car with the...

    Car won't move out of park and key stuck in ignition

    First this I usually do when working on my vehicles is putting them in neutral and using wheel chocks. Today I used the wheel chocks, removed the battery, unhooked everything under the hood, and pulled the engine out. Later I pulled the wheel chocks and was going to push the GP outside to clean...

    Engine Differences

    I know that I can replace my L36 engine with a newer L26 engine. What are the differences between the model years of L26 engines? Such as what is different on for example a 2004 and a 2007 or 2008? I have a 1999 Gt and found a low mileage 2006 L26 for a good price. Would this just be changing...

    Rolling chassis without cv joints

    I am getting ready to pull the motor and tranny out of my 1999 GT. Once I remove the cv axles from the tranny is it possible to put the tires back on the front of the vehicle. This would allow me to have a rolling chassis while working so that I can push it in and out of the garage a little bit...

    04 4T65E into 99 GT

    I recently got a 1999 GT for cheap due to rod knock. I have not been able to drive the car to see if there are any transmission troubles, but with almost 200K miles it might as well get swapped out at the same time as the engine. Locally I found a 2004 3800 engine and transmission for a decent...

    4T65E from LeSabre into GP

    I have done a lot of searching on here and on google and can't seem to find out the answer I need. I am in the process of replacing my stock motor that has 199,xxx miles. Thought I might as well pull out the transmission and replace it with something that has less miles. There is a local guy...

    4t65e to 4t65e-hd swap

    I am replacing the engine in my 99 GT and thought I might as well do something with the transmission while it is easy to get to. Found a 4t65e-hd locally out of a wrecked GTP with only 82k miles. Would this be a direct replacement for the 4t65e? If not, want might I run into that is different?

    Checking In

    Hey guys, just checking in. I have been lurking around on the site since I bought my 1999 GT. Getting ready to start a complete rebuild due to it having 199,xxx miles and rod knock. This is my first GM rebuild as I have always been into Mustangs, but my daughter wanted a GP and not a Fox Body...
