1990lumi Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 Will the 2.3l dohc ld2 from a 90-91 grand prix bolt up to a 4t60 if not what 5 speed did they use in then 90-91 grand prix was it a getrag? Quote
ManicMechanic Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) I believe the LD2 used the 3T40 (or THM125) with the 3.18 FDR. The LG0 (HO) had the 5 speed and it was a 282 but with 3.61 FDR. Edited July 27, 2014 by ManicMechanic Quote
1990lumi Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Posted July 27, 2014 but would it work with the 4t60 because thats what my 90 lumina has now with the 3.1l but im looking at a z24 that has the 2.3l in it and i would rather have 4 speed over 3 speed Quote
ManicMechanic Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 No. Bellhousing bolt pattern is different. Quote
Nas Escobar Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 If you want a Quad 4 5 speed, then you gotta get the Q4 and the 282 MUNCIE. And yes, the Muncie was made by Getrag but there were 2 Getrags, the Muncie from the early 90's and the NVG T550 which I think started production in 93... By this time there were no 5 speeds in W bodies... or so I want to say, I know 94s were all automatics and had OBD1 with OBD2 codes (the infamous OBD1.5). If you want an auto Q4, then you have to basically get a J body powertrain in there, which your issue would be mounts and the fact that you would need custom transaxles and a PCM tune as the PCM will not like that at all, despite being OBD1. Q4's were mated to a Getrag or a TH125. If you wanted a 4 speed, the closest thing you would get to is a 4T40 from a Twin Cam engine. Come to think of it, if the Twin Cam has the same bellhouse pattern as the Q4, you could get an F23 from a later model Cavalier or Grand Am/Alero. Regardless it would be quite the chore. Quote
1990lumi Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Posted July 27, 2014 so not worth putting in the 2.3l dohc into my lumina? or would it just be easier to do a l67 Quote
RobertISaar Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 from 94-98ish, you could get a quad4(or 2.4) with a 4T60E. Quote
1990lumi Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Posted July 27, 2014 dont want 4t60e i like as little electronics as possible stuff is easier to fix without it and you dont have to worry about a stupid electronic switch going bad to ruin a trip etc. Quote
Nas Escobar Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 so not worth putting in the 2.3l dohc into my lumina? or would it just be easier to do a l67 I personally would just look for a 5 speed Q4 Cutlass Supreme. Quote
1990lumi Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Posted July 27, 2014 im just looking for a new car in general Quote
RobertISaar Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 I personally would just look for a 5 speed Q4 Cutlass Supreme. they seem to exist everywhere for a surprisingly low price where i do not live. Quote
