    I was wanting to swap my worn out transmission in my 99 Pontiac Grand Prix GT with a low mileage one out of a 97 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. However I noticed the 97 has a vacuum modulator and my 99 doesnt. Question is what all do I need to do to make this work? Or should I locate a later model tranny for my car. I have the wrecked 97 sitting in my field for any parts I might need for this swap. Any and all opinions are welcomed. Thanks!

    97 trans missions are ****, and will not work at all with your car, unless you swap pcms and other stuff, find a 98-02 trans
