Thanks guys for the quick reply. That information is extremely helpful. The car is priced at $1000. And I was looking to spend around 2500 for a used grand prix. So if the body and interior are in good shape it will leave a few dollars for repairs. I have one more question. I am considering doing the work myself I have found a few good threads on removing the transmission. Outside of taking one off and bolting a new one on I know nothing about transmission. So my question is should I look for one with fewer miles from a salvage yard or take the old one to a tranny shop to have it rebuilt?
