    97 trans are not as 'strong' as 98+.. 03 being the best of the 97-03's

    The 97 GTP trans are the same as the rest. the 97 GT was vac controled and not the best.

    just for safe measures in case u get it scanned.. u will probably have a throttle position sensor code. dont do what i did and buy 3 TPS's trying to fix the prob... my rubber T was popped completely off the lower intake mani... right under blower snout..
