    Hey all.

    I picked up a 2001 Grand Prix GT back in January to replace my 1990 Oldsmobile 88. I've had experience with the 3800 and knew the reputation so figured it was a good buy. 92000 miles on it when I bought it from a dealer with quite a few new parts (front sway bar, new front passenger wheel bearing, new brakes all around, etc), and I wanted to get away from trying to fix random issues that I got accustomed to with my Oldsmobile, which I have to say was expected with a 22 year old car. Anyways, this has turned out to be the opposite with more random issues (some of them self inflicted), but I have to say when it's functioning properly it is a great car.

    Also in the garage is a 1999 Firebird Formula, although that just was involved in an accident last Friday which was caused when an older woman decided to pull into a rummage sale in front of me. Enough of that for now.....


    Anyways, the major issue I'm having now is with the transmission, so I started a thread http://www.grandprixforums.net/shift...tml#post803740


    I've spent a ton of time on LS1tech, THT (The Hull Truth, boating forum), etc., and this seems like another great spot to spend some time and hopefully get/give some good information.

    Thanks!

    I'm not too far from Oshkosh right now finishing up a 15 month co-op at Mercury Marine. This coming fall, I'm moving back to Madison to finish up my last year of school at UW.
