hey guys.....this weekend my tranny conked out on me. I took it too a local show and the guy there told me that it needs a rebuild. He quoted me a price of $2400. The car as abotu 125K miles on it and I wasn't really having too many issues with the about I dont know if I willing to spend that much on a rebuild. So I found a dismantler with a 2002 AT tranny and I was wondering if that would fit into a 2000.

Thanks

dont think it will, not sure, an 02 has a 3.5 and a 00 has a 3.0, not sure of the diferences.

 

it can be made to work, you just need to know what to change. i mean it's going to bolt on, but the VB and a few output gears are different.

 

There is a 1 letter difference in the code (I can't remember from what to what). All gear ratios are the same. The biggest difference is in the software.

 

"1 letter"... i recommend to see in person so you you realize what that letter means.

Check your firewall.

A & B refer to 95-99 and 2000 - 2003 IIRC so that might be

 

so.... cheking my firewall is going to tell me what exactly?

 

It will tell you what your tranny code is. And from that code you can tell how many forward gears and if it is LSD or open and if it has an OD.

The A & B represent different FD's.

 

so you think i can't tell what it is when i take these transmissions apart... so yeah, i defntly need to read some numbers off the firewall next time. thanks for advise

 

What is your point here? What are you trying to say, you’re talking in riddles, make your point and let’s move on.

Grammar ADVICE > ADVISE in this case.

 

So has anyone found out the differences?

 

Yes, I found the difference. One is for a 00-01, the other is for a 02-03.....

 

I am thinking about the same thing, Im not 100% sure but the driveshafts and the trans ecu[if it has 1] might be a issue. Also 2400.00 for a rebuild seams way high,Did you check around? I would be interested in your outcome.

 

I have a spare one just dnt want to pay someone to put it in and it doesnt wrk...and the driveshafts are the same but idk about the tcm

 

Everything should be fine. If the TCM is different you could just swap out the TCM units or buy an aftermarket standalone.

But IIRC the gearings are exactly the same so I don't see why the TCM would be different
