I OWN A 99 GRAND AM GT WITH THE 3.4L. RECENTLEY THAT MOTOR HAS FALLEN APART. NOW IVE HEARD THAT THEM THERE MOTORS ARE KNOWN FOR THAT. SO WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO PUT A 3.8L IN THERE. I KNOW THE COMPUTER STUFF IS GONNA BE DIFFERENT CAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT ENGINE BUT HOW MUCH AM I LOOKIN AT AND WHAT IS A TRUSTED PLACE TO GET THE MOTOR AT. O YEAH I NEED EVERYTHING FOR THE MOTOR. FROM THE LONG BLOCK TO ALL THE LINES AND WIRES.

Also, when the engine is cold ( first start of the day), the transaxle will shift like normal, but only the first couple of shifts....
Also, no, I haven't been driving it since this has started.
Appreciate any ideas,
Thanx,
Chris
First, secnod, and third gears wortk fine. Fluid looks and smells good. What could cause this transmission not to go into 4th gear? It tachs 3,000 rpm at 60 mph in third gear, when I put it into drive, still at 3,000 rpm at 60 mph.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Today the check engine light and ETS (traction system) lights came on while it was trying to shift out of overdrive on the highway.
First a little background on the car...
I had just replaced the struts, rotors, pads, and front tires the day before this failure occurred. Where does this tie in to my problem? Well, it may or it may not. I'll get to that later.
The day after the repairs I was driving along at about 45 enjoying my new riding car. All the sudden the car tached-out as if I had knocked the shifter into neutral. However, much to my dismay, the car was still in drive. I coasted to the shoulder and turn the car off. After scratching my head for a minute I restarted the car and tried all the gears; none of them responded. I did however note a metallic-zipping noise that occurs in all ranges to include park.
I checked the shifter cable and it appears to be actuating the shaft on the tranny. The fluid is good.
Another thing I noted is that the whinning/zipping noise will go away above 2500-2700 rpm.
Any thoughts? :confuse:

i've been getting a dry hoarse hum coming from the tranny on the passengers side, or so it seems more from that side the the drivers. the car shifts fine and accellerates ok, but the dry hum has gotten louder and louder as the week went on to the point i have parked the car perminantly till i isolate the problem and fix.. any ideas would be greatly appreciated... thanks jim
i seam to have the same problem .. like the transmission is hunting for the next gear.. i need to floor it to hit the passing gear for it to stop. My buddy thinhks it might be caused by the knock down band and the adjustment is off a bit.. it feels like a engine miss but it is more defined like the tranny. only happends during excel. the RPM is bouncing up and down.. is this the same problem .. is so how did you fix it or was it related to the fluid level
thanks
I have a 03 pontiac grand am se 6cyl and I need a transmission. I have located parts for 1999 and 2001 grand ams. I wanted to know if I could use there transmissions even if it is a little older. Also I am in need of a power steering pump as well, so I would need that too from. Would those year cars work with my car???
