Ok, here we go, my baby, my 2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT1. Bought her in April of '04, replacing my 1989 Honda Accord LXi. It's not the Bugatti I really want, but I love it nonetheless :P

Nice car Aleighy. I had a WS6 with 325hp (see avatar) before my saab!
Had a Grand Am GT as a rental when I first got to the US for a month. It was 210hp 3.8 V6 but it must have had a lot of torque as it felt quicker than 210hp if that makes sense. I'd just got out of a 96 Civic Si in the UK...which I still own but haven't driven in over 12 months (I bet the battery is flat now)

Is it a manual or auto?

I don't like the bling bling wheels, but in general, I like the car.
When you were buying the car, did you have any other options?

The GA is a set in stone for life automatic, even tho its life is almost over...2005 is the last production year and then the G6 (stupid generic sedan) takes its place in Pontiac's line up. :x For right now the V6 doesnt sound all that great, but I'll be takin the stock exhaust off and putting two Flomaster 80's on it, although my boyfriend disagrees with this choice. In the end its safe to say that I just want it to sound like the V8 that chevy made back in the 60's, you know that deep rumble of pure muscle. And the blingin rims? stock, lol. I just keep em shiny :D

Actually, grand am does/did come with manual on the base 2.4 (or 2.2 ecotec?). I've seen couple of '01 aleros with manual but I was busy trying to get some warranty work done so didn't bother getting a test drive.
BTW, I drive an Alero GLS with 3.4. Get 5 less hp but gotta love the torque ;)

Well, if that means that there is a transaxle that will fit the V6, then this little lady may be in luck :D poor girl needs to learn how to drive a stick though too. from what i gather all the cars she's tried to learn on weren't the forgiving type which can be quite discouraging for a beginner :(

well this is what I found on your style car aleighy for Manual transaxles. Good news is you should be able to find one in a Junkyard but I'm not sure if you can mate it up to the V-6 or not but it's worth a try IMO. Also it's a Getrag so it's probably an excellent transaxle.

well you can get the tranny and other essential parts for maybe 3 grand rebuilt or 1200 at the most junkyard. and if you buy it with a manual you get a smaller engine.

Even if the getrag 5spd can fit, it probably won't be able to handle the extra torque from the V6. According to getrag's site, it's designed for upto 250Nm (278Nm for the 3.4).
The tranny on my car is having about 4% slipperage already...

Why not just do the 3.8 Supercharged GTP engine and tranny swap. The automatic is faster and more reliable anyways.

I know all about that, well not the slipping, but my autobox can only take 250lbft and the ECU limits torque accordingly. If I had the 5 speed I'd be at 290lbft with my chip :x !

Ahh gotta love big overbuilt American Transmissions. Mine can take 100 lb/ft more than stock without any issues a fully built one for about $2500 USD can get me one capable of 1000lb/ft. Remember HP means little to nothing in a transmission.

Because fom what i read, that one hooked up to the 2.4L 4 cylinder. if it will attatch to the V6 then that one will definetly be an option because i know first hand about Getrag's reliability.

I've actually done a trans job on a 3.1 V6 although it was an Automatic and I can tell you it isn't that difficult of a job if you have the proper equipment, in your home garage it may be difficult since you have to remove the sub frame/ Cross member and support the engine from the top then remove all the bell housing bolts, 2 of which reguire like a 14 inch extention to get too. lets just say Flex joint sockets are a godsend in such a job. Any how if you are good and have a lift and trans jack you can get the old one out in 45 minutes tops if it's your first one. (this guy bought a replacement junk yard tranny that shot out in a week so we had to do it again.) so with the conversion to manual i.e. cut out the firewall, install clutch master cylinder, Reflash ECU, then install transaxle then Allignment and your done.

I've done a couple of transaxles on caviliers but they were the four bangers. not that much different with an automatic, just need to remove the torque converter bolts from the flexplate before going up top and taking out the bellhousing bolts. flashing the ECU won't be hard. just need to take it to the dealer and tell them what i did. or we could always send it somewhere to be chipped :twisted:

Sweet! Thanks for the offer T-bird! now the question is, will the car run without the module seeing the auto trans there?
In other words, would i be able to swap tranny's down here and then drive it up there to flash the ECU? or should we just have everything shipped to your shop and then take a road trip to do it there?

Well, i spent most of the day today workin on what I call my Blacout Project, although its only half done. Ever since i got the car i have wanted to black out the head and tail lights, but the new housings for the taillights were just way too expensive right now. But on sunday night i was at a party and i was talkin to this girl who has a Grand Am SE and her taillights were all blacked out and so i was askin her how she did it. Its just this kit she picked up, a do it yourself kind of thing. So after i paid my bills this mornin i hopped in the car and went to pick up the kit. It took like 3 hours, but there was a lot of wait time involved. The finish product is exactly how i wanted it to be. In a few weeks ill go in and order the headlight covers, but im satisfied with this for now.

im gunna do the center brake light but i didnt wanna take the time to do it once i got the taillights on and decided the center one needed to be done too, it was just too late to deal with it. im not sure what it is, its a spray paint type can but the stuff is made especially for blacking out the taillights.

Just make sure you didn't make them too dark. All it's going to take is a state trooper having a bad day to make your project all for nothing. I'm sure the lenses for your car are somewhere in the neighborhood of 116 bucks a peice plus another 50 for the third brake light.
I hope you don't plan on doing the headlights too because then cops are going to have a field day with your car. :|
other than that little warning it looks like a vast improvement over the stock red lenses. I'm just glad you didn't go rice and get the clear corners :puke:

If it is the same engine as the Firebird V6 then they come in a 5 speed I am pretty sure?
retrofitted, yes... but a huge pain in the ass...
i think the Grand am's 5 speed for the V6 was only available until 2002, when the TA died.
nice car aliegha, a grand am is what i first learned how to drive in, but with the 2.4 4 banger...
i'll agree that the v6 in the Grand am GT feels quite nice and fast :)

in fact, i do plan on blacking out the headlights as well, but only with snap on covers. my car is going to be so fucking illegal by the time i get done with it, and im fully aware of it. add to the head and taillights a 5% (or 95%, however you look at it) tint on all the windows (legal limit is 20%) and an exhaust and stereo that is bound to break sound pollution laws, and my lead foot, ill be way over the legal line. but it doesnt much matter to me, if i get pulled over for any of the styling mods, ill just make my eyes all wide and play innocent. my honda that i had before my GAGT was even more illegal and the "playing dumb" worked numerous times. guess this is where it pays to be a girl?
damn me if i happen to be pulled over by a chick cop, wide eyed innocence doesn't go so far with them...i just pray shes a...butch...chick...lol

hey I got pulled over for having just headers on my car and the whole time I'm sitting there all you hear is my car just rumbling and as he's talking to me the AC kicks in and the revs go up I was trying soo hard not to laugh needless to say I went home and paid the ticket all I've done to fix it is put the cats back on and the pipes that go along the transmission on each side. :D

exactly he pulled me over and when he asked me if I knew why I said yes luckily he gave me a sound ordinance ticket instead of a fix-it ticket he said he would have ignored it but it was 7:30 am on a Sunday in a subdivision.

150% my friend. there are only two types of music...country and western. well, ok, thats not true, i listen to all kinds, but country is my top choice, and yes, i know thats bound to find me tied up in front of the JW firing squad, since you all seem to be fans of hard rock. it just goes to show that the only place you have good taste is in your cars. :P :wink: (and if you think im cute, then you have good taste in women, as well) :wink:

just let me know when there are half as many threads dedicated to country music as there are to metallica and all other things hard rock...i.e. best guitarist, bassist, dedicated to metallica...and on and on :?

I can't stand Metallica fucking anti piracy cunts.
Seriously though when road trippin and you're in the middle of nowhere and are sick of all your CD's most of the time all there is out there is Country or shit Pop music.

very true, which is why road trip music never bothers me much, i can usually always find something that i like, unless im in the mountains or something, then i go back to my cd's.

now really it was that pansy ass dipshit Lars that was the most outspoken on the issue. They really lost alot of fans over that. St. Anger's sales showed it too. there may be something after all to the whispers i've heard about them calling it quits after this next tour, but i'm not going to hold my breath.
I need James, Kirk, Lars and Jason to sign my ratty ass Ride the Lightning shirt do i can finally retire it :?

Or you could always make a bunch of driving mixes :wink:

I like Metallica as much as the next guy because listening to them is usually a male rite of passage. Country is still complete crap, and only worth listening to if the wife makes you and you're getting lucky afterwords.
For me though it's classic rock if rock, unless it's:
1.) Finger Eleven
2.) HIM
3.) Turbonegro
4.) System of a Down, NIN, or A perfect circle
Otherwise I dig Classical... and 80's shyte.
...And you're not my type I can tell
