Hi all,

 

Glad to be part of this storied community.  In about 2 weeks I'm about to grab a 1991 GTP 5-speed with the 3.4.  High-ish mileage (237,000km or 147,000ish miles) but she's in decent shape.  Needs some transmission work, but hey!  It's why I'm here!

Welcome.  What kind of trans work?

Make sure you get a maintenance history. At 147,000 miles the timing belt should have been changed at least once and preferably twice.

 

Any pictures ?

You've come to the right place then. Welcome

Welcome! Read through the FAQ section when you get a chance, that's where our write-ups are for whatever reason. If you check the Events section we have a meet coming in June in Toledo Ohio and there's always room for another GTP.

A few of the synchros are scratchy. No pics yet, but you best believe when I get it I will be posting some!

Good luck with that, The transmission in that car is effectively unable to be rebuilt due to parts simply not existing.

 

Also, does it have ABS or no? If it does that is another system that is a complete mother to work on/get parts for.

 

Not trying to discourage you, welcome and all that. But good luck! If you are to find spares this would be the site to do it on!

Couldn't he effectively use a 282 out of a cavalier or something?
