Thread: help with transmission id, what to do?

Hey everyone,

I recently picked up a transmission to replace my damaged one from a fellow co-worker.

the transmission is out of a 2001 monte carlo with a 3.4l, attached is a picture of the id tag and according to the id link i found searching this forum. it states that it has a 2.86 differential gear ratio, a 245mm torque converter a higher stall and it has IMS (no idea what that is)

1RDB is the code on the transmission.

now what i have is a 2002 pontiac grand prix gt. I am wondering if this is going to work for me and if not how can i make it work?

any help is appreciated

Mike

the transmission is a 4t65e

Billboost to the rescue again!

thanks a lot, you keep proving how informative you are everytime i ask a question

i believe the transmission in my car at the moment has the external switch, so its good to know that i can swap the switch and the differential. I hope the differential in my current trans is still good

also i was reading somewhere that i would need my pcm flashed to accept the new transmission? is this true?

thanks again

Mike
