I think the GTP trans would work. I'm trying to remember if there was any difference between the Pontiacs and us. I know in the earlier years there were differences between the Grand Prixs and Monte Carlos. But to the best of my knowledge the tranny will work. But whether you need to grab anything else with it I'm drawing a blank.

Once you get an HD tranny in there and get a dyno tune done you'll probably be good, though. Most people try not to take the trannys because they want the little extra power from the stock tranny. My biggest issue here is if you'll need anything else because of the tranny changes made in 03 - I'd take the PCM from the GTP if you can get it.

Could be one reason for a CEL, won't know until you pull all your codes. But that isn't going to make your car run like it is. Case relearn will need to be done at a dealership, though if you find you need one. You'll be throwing a code for it if you need one.
