B&M Megashifter in 90 Eurosport

[90Luminator]

Aloha to all,

 

Does anyone one know if there is some kind of kit to mount up a B&M Mega Shifter on a 90 Eurosport Sedan? Also i'm having trouble finding out what kind of Tranny is in it. Thanks!

A 90 Euro would have the 4T60.

[bartonmd]

'91 or '92 started the 4T60E right? (computer controlled transmission)

Could be a 3 speed as well, whatever that code is. The 4T60 is the 4 speed.

[mihela816]

ALL Euros got the 4 speed, only base models got the 3 speed. And 1st gen Luminas with the 3.1 never got the 4T60-E.

no shit? None of the luminas up to '95 had an electronic controlled trans?

[mihela816]

Well the 3.4's did.

Lumina's got the shaft. No newer brakes, no new trans, no 3100.

Automatic transmission: 4T60E transmissions may drop out of drive while cruising, shift erratically, or have no second, third, or fourth gear because of a bad ground connection for the shift solenoids. Poor grounds also allow wrong gear starts. (1991-94)

 

Depends on when you consider first gen engine I guess... It's the same body style, but some stuff changed... Is first gen '89 and '90 only?

thats not true, my 94 with the 3.1 has the 4T60-E. and its the original motor/trans

[bartonmd]

OK, looks like '91-93 got the 440-T4 and '94 got the electronically controlled 4T60-E. This right?

 

Automatic transmission: TH-125 or 440-T4 automatic transmissions may shift late or not upshift at all. The problem is a stuck throttle valve inside the transmission. (1991-93)

 

1994 Chevrolet Lumina: All '94 Luminas had a V6 engine and 4-speed automatic transmission with new electronic controls. The base coupe departed, leaving only Euro and Z34 coupes. A new design was in the works for 1995.

*BZZT* Wrong. My Lumina Euro has a THM-125C 3-speed transmission. Try again.

[5speedz34]

90-93 the 3 speed was the 125C

90-93 was the 4 speed 4T60

I thought all W's got the 4t60-e in '93 am i wrong?

Also I know very few Lumina's got the 3100 but I think it was toward the end of the model year.

 

Why do you want to put a BM shifter in a Lumina?

[paulo57509]

My 1992 GM shop manual has sections for the 3-speed, the 4-speed and the "E" 4-speed.

[bartonmd]

I think the 3.4 did get the "e" version in '91, which is probably what that's talking about.

Here's a page that'll clear the confusion:

[bartonmd]

well... there ya go... thanks!

[mihela816]

Oh I get it. The other W's got the 4T60-E in 93 and the Lumina didn't till 94.

Were all the cuttys with a manual tranny turbo? I was just lookin through that a little.

Cutlasses never came with turbos... and manuals never came with turbos in the Grand Prix, either..

Then that site is screwed up because for aspiration it say TURBO. And I should have noticed when it said that for all the Cutties

...mount up a B&M Mega Shifter on a 90 Eurosport Sedan...

When using a shifter designed for a RWD car, keep in mind that the spacing between some of the shifter detents will probably need to be changed. You'll have to measure how far the shifter cable moves for each position in a factory setup and then make sure the aftermarket shifter will do the same thing.
