• 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.

Even swapping the differential you'll still need tuned for the different gear ratio. The gs has a 2.93 gear ratio where the ls has 3.29

250 for that tranny is spot on. (its worth more) all the leaks on it were from the engine, oil leaks aka valve covers leak right onto the tranny.

used is always a risk, but if the seller says its a working trans it should be working, if not you know where he lives now lol

search around CL for part outs, a lot of the time the cars still whole and runs and drives, so at least you can warm it up and test it some. if you remove the used tranny yourself im sure the price will come down at a part out.

Yea it does look a bit dirty. Visually it looks worn. But I have the cash so I guess I will give it a shot. Should I check the fluid inside? What if its dark in color?

the fluid in the tranny should be red to pinkish looking, if its dark or smells burnt run away.

stiff and look at a known working tranny dip stick before you go for a reference.
