Does anybody know how hard it will be to swap my gagt's 3.4 and 4t45 out for a 3.8 and a 4t65? money is not an issue but i am going to be doing this myself and any info about dimensions and tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated.

understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you." -
That sounds like an horrific waste of time and effort.Last edited by asylummotorsports; 06-17-2009, 10:55 AM. -
Is this thread a joke?

swapping out for a 4t65e, probably not a bad idea, but if you're going through the trouble, you might as well get a 4t80e and never worry about it blowing up. the DOHC3.5 uses the 4t80e bellhousing pattern right?Originally posted by fastdomestic View Post

no this aint no joke im just some kid who wants a tougher tranny in my ga there s not much out there to really beef up a 4t45...understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.

ask a junkyard... a 4t80e is the strongest auto FWD tranny gm has built(not sure what the 6 speed will do though), which is why it got hooked up to the northstars, anything with a NS *should* have a 4t80eComment

good to know man thanx. whats this 6 speed that u talk of?understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you."Comment

i stand corrected, the LX5 never came with a 4t80e, it came with the 4t65e.
the six speed is the auto that came out pretty recently in the malibu and a couple other cars...
its the 6t70 and 6t75...(look it up on wikipedia if you want)
you know what, forget about the 4t80, just get the six speed if you can find/afford it, you'll have a hell of a time trying to hook a 4t80 up to any V6... i'm assuming you have some wiring skills and know someone who could tune it? because that WOULD be necessary seeing how it has 2 extra gears...
someone with more obd2 knowledge needs to chime inComment

The stock computer in a grand am will not be able to control a 6 speed trans. Most of the newer GM vehicles now have a separate trans control unit.
I would go with a 3500 mated to a 4t65e.... wait that is the route I am going.2000 Grand Am GT

Please fix your sig, its freaking huge!
EDIT: thank you...
and since its been done before, it won't be a whole lot of guess workComment

i agree that someone with some obd2 knowledge needs to tune in.
should go well...i hope now i just have to wait for that 4t45 to blow up (its barely hanging on, shouldnt be long)understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.

The tuning part isn't hard.... but then again takes the right equipment, research and knowledge.
Honestly, if the car is your daily driver, a trans swap is not going to happen until a kit comes out... which hopefully won't be too much longer. The swap takes computer tuning, custom mounts and axles.
