Hello Everyone, I'm in need of some advise.
I own a 2002 GT with just over 200000 km, the tranmission has completely failed, I had no luck locating a decent used tranmission.
I have found (and bought) a low milage 1999 GTP (170000km) that was involved in a collison with a cyclist (the roof/windshield are caved in) for $500, ill get $200 back in scrap metal. I bought the wreck with the intent to swap the powertrain into my GTP. Based on my research on these forums and elsewhere its said this is possible, as long as i stay within the 98-02 model years. Its nearly a drop in. My father inlaw has rasied concerns this process will be a money pit, labourous job and many not work in the end.
I'm aware i'll need a PCM programmed for a GTP with my VIN on the GT, wiring harness swap kit and possibly a fuel pump harness (not manditory). I'm I missing anything? I'm I unrealistic in believing this is a simple solution?
The wrecked GTP sat over the winter since Septmeber 2011, the car started right away with a boost, sounded great and easily drove onto the trailer. The motor/tran required some maintence, such as plugs, fluid changes and LIM and belts.
My last question is the GTP has the performance shift button, Is it possible too swap this function into my GT and if not will there be any issues?
Thanks a bunch
