Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Trans does not want to shift out of 1st until warm

    I finished installing the 03 trans/motor in my 99. At first I used the 99 pcm, and it seemed to shift a little rough. Now im using the 03 pcm, and it doesn't want to shift out of 1st when I start driving (If i give it more throttle, it will); however, once it has shifted into 2nd, it doesn't...

    "coz"

    Doesn't anyone know how to write proper english anymore? "Coz" is not a word! It's "because", get it right! Seems kind of insignificant, but it is annoying.

    99 to 03 engine and trans swap

    Im in the process of swaping an 03 engine and trans into a 99. I have two questions 1) The fuel injector clips are different, so should I just splice them into my existing harness? 2) The shift linkage on my 99 transmission has 2 wiring harnesses, while the 2003 has 1. Could this have something...

    2003 transmission swap

    After a lot of searching I have not found any specific information on swaping a 2003 gt engine/trans into a 99 gt. From what I understand, the motor is exactly the same, but the trans is different (stronger too). Question is, What would I need to take from the donor car to make it work? Any...

    Removing Engine and Transmission together

    Has anyone lifted the engine and trans out while they are still bolted together? Are there any clearance issues? Any help would be appreciated.

    Transmission Cooler Lines

    Are there any differences between the trans. cooler lines on a 97 or 99 grand prix? I went to the parts store, and all they could get are lines for a 97 gp gt. I have a 99, and I dont want to pay the $55/ line that the dealer wants. Any help would be appreciated.

    Does anyone know where to get a rear shock tower panel?

    Just found out my rear shock towers are almost rotted through. Does anyone know where I can get new panels from? If I can find them, I plan to do a write up on how to replace them. I could cut out some pieces from the boneyard, but they will probably be rusty too. Any help would be...

    Does anyone know where to get camber rods from? (other than dealer)

    I just took my grand prix in for a safety inspection, and found out that my camber rods are bent (dont know how, maybe someone put tow hooks on them). The only place I could find them is at the dealer. Does anyone know some other place that I can get them? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Poor handling on ice/snow

    Hello New to the forum, and to the grand prix. I just bought a 1999 gp gt with plans on doing a top swap. I thought a gp would be a good winter car (being fwd), but i have never had a car that was so unstable in the snow. The car drives straight on dry roads, but as soon as it hits...
