• 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.

o.m.g. transmission

I appreciate that input I was kinda stuck for a minute there you guy r so knowledgeable I'm privileged to be a part of this forum. Thanx again for all the input hopefully ill start on Saturday ill keep you all posted
 


Right. Being a W body makes it easier. The Bonneville, Park Ave and Riviera have more structure on the back of the casing for a rear trans mount, they utilize holes on the front that are on all cases for a front trans mount. The W body, uses one mount on the cover that can be swapped if needed. Usually all the covers are alike, but if it's not, it's an easy swap.

Then you have the hose connections which is easy to work past.

In the end, all SC'd transmissions were 2.93 when GM built them.
 
Ok will any of the other transmission be better than the 2000 transmission. I've just heard so much negativity about these transmissions I don't know if the a little different maybe the other years are stronger or doesn't have the weaknesses that the 2000 transmission has if so what year should i look for. Thanx n advance.
 
In 2003, which you can't use, GM supposedly upgraded many things.

The 4th clutch hub was one of the items. In 97-02 (and early 03's) it is not hardened and therefore wears/strips out and you lose 4th gear.
A few other changes were made in the valve body, but nothing that would change things drastically. Overall it's a valvebody and with miles comes some wear.
 
Ok all I have to do now is set a time to do it I believe I've gotten all the knowledge possible to complete the task
 
Except..you can't change both fittings at the trans. You can only change one. Which means it's easier to swap lines.

Doubt it's a gear ratio issue but it could be your torque converter. You just have to check.
