OK i know that the 2.8 3.1 3x00 and the 3.8 trannys are all prety much interchangeable .. But I have the tranny that I pulled from my 92 3.4 dohc and a guy I work with has a 90 GP with a 3.1 and all but frist gear is out of the tranny.. Now will the 4t60-e tranny bolt into this car ?? I did a search and did not find a stright answer.. Hes giving me the car for 100$$ so I'm gona buy it regardless but if i can put in that tranny all the better..

Not hardly. 2.8 and some 3.1 yes, but the 3x00's all require PCM's to control them. Not a direct swap. Same goes for the 3.8 trannies. Completely different.

the tranny in that car is vacuum controlled the tranny you have is electronically controlled. unless you can find the wiring harness that will plug into that tranny and run the 3.1 in it. your sol because it won't work.

All 3.4's and 93+ W's have 4T60E's

 

Pre 92 2.8/3.1-3.8 have the same bellhousing pattern and use the same 4T60 a.k.a. TH440, this trans is controled by a TV (throtle valve) cable, the trans uses this signal along with its internal governor to determine shift points, it is a cable pulled out by the throttle blade bellcrank

IMO much better trans than the E, then again I like easy troubleshooting, clean easy retrofits and long trouble free service life.

I hear that.. the 4T60-e in my Bonneville shifts SO crisp and runs so smooth versus the POS 440T4 in the GP.

 

:werd: I am very happy with the -E so far.. but I really think it was rebuilt around 10k ago.. according to Carfax, there was tranny service at 124k..
