Thread: Sell the GTP or not? What would you do?

I have a 2002 GTP that has 132k on it. Engine is fine, car is real clean. (Garages > Lawngoose's Garage - FQuick.com)

However... I have been having tranny issues lately. I know this means and inevitable tranny replacement is in my future.

The issue is not getting a replacement tranny but rather installing it. I dont have all the tools/time needed to install (I have no second car at this point).

So I started thinking... I could get some decent money back on my car if I demodded and brought it back to stock.

Currently I owe 5600 on it, and NADA says clean retail is 6300. Don't know what I could get for it, or the best route to get our from under it... if thats what i decide to do.

What would you do?

see how much a dealer would give for it and if affordable find a newer gtp

Honestly...and I know from trying to sell my '03 and even running with as stock as I could get it with 88K people were trying to give me 6K for it...and I was like NO WAY. I know it sounds rough, but I'd put some new fluid and do a pan drop and trade her in for a newer one in good shape...and keep your mods and put them on the new car

already done a pan drop... i bought it at 81k since then have dropped pan twice. Yea, i wouldnt mind having a 04, so i could use my Powrtuner.

i would just save up and get a TEP built tranny...

FWIW man I got a TEP Tranny too with 3.29's and they are the shiz

thats a tough predicament man id say run the trans into the ground then replace it take a day off of work and swap a new 1 in bust your ass and you will finish =]

If you have never done it I bet it might take a couple days...for sure.

This should make you decide on getting a TEP Trans. and 3.29's

Well the TEP tranny would be a nice investment, but I have never done a FWD car, replaced my chevy truck's Turbo 350 trans... but RWD is a whole different story.

No way...installing a Grand Prix tranny is a bish and a half if you have never done it before...

Yea, thats what im saying...could i ...am i competent of doing it? yes... do i have time or extra car ...no

Where are those helpful tranny writeups when u need them.

Plus its not like you get a TEP tranny...and not have to add money....like TQ converter....etc... that stuff adds up. If i had another DD ... i would be game.

EDIT: i may start contacting my grand prix help...to see if i can get a member to help me out... 2 days max!
