Default Transmission Swap

Hey guys,

My 1998 Z34 is due for a transmission. 4th geat has been gone for 1 year and a half now. It is finally warm out so i can work on the car and ride the motorcycle to work. Question is, will a 99 Grand Prix Transmission work. I can get one from the local yard that has 121,000 miles on it for $350. I was going to install the transco shift kit also. Will that tranny work in my 98? Or should I buy the one from a 98 Monte with 149,000 miles? The 98 is $50 cheaper.

Thanks for the help

Donny

The tranny from the Grand Prix will work as long as the Grand Prix has the non-sc 3800 in it. I'd hang onto your Z34's CV's though because I can't remember if those are the same.

Edit: stevemonte212, ALL Monte's are FWD from 1995-2007.

No problem. I overlooked your question about the shift kit too. I'm not sure about how much theshift kit that you found costs, but this shift kit: ZZ Performance will work and costs $40 from ZZP.
