[454sskilla]

so r these cars dependable?

[Interloper187]

@454sskilla

I would say so, only major problem to complain about is the transmission. A modded 3800 can eat a stock 4T65, just rebuild it with a few mods and you're good to go.

Congrats you own the worlds most overrated car sir!!!! HONDAS SUCKS

[JustShutUpNWatch]

@AmbassadorOfGlory Your making your gp a manual? ive wanted to see it done before i even thought about doing it.

[gurusurfers]

i got a 05 GP GT im planning on doing a top swap, nice vid but why POS linkin suck?! there such a shitty band and had thier 15 seconds of fame and need to go away.

i own a 2000 gtp, and i absolutely love mine. I've had problems with it, but i dont regret buying it. Mine's got 137k, and i race it all of the time on the road, and smoke everyone lol. All i've done is cosmetic work, and a new transmission cause i broke the one that came in it.

@magiceye0187 YES IT IS! I had one, 2001....GREAT CAR!

[AmbassadorOfGlory]

@JustShutUpNWatch Its no easy task but I have actually seen it done! Apparently, alot of GMs transmissions bolt onto the engine and drivetrain so similarly that they can be interchangeable. The 5 speed Getrag 284 from the 1988 Lumina Z34/Grand Prix GTP fits the engine, as well as, apparently, the six speed from the newer G6. I would very much like to, but it wont be cheap... itll bolt onto the engine but the mountings and some transmission lines will have to be custom or changed

I love my Pontiac Grand Prix, I cant stop counting the time I smoke chumps trying to look flashing in their puny cars.

@454sskilla Intake gasket on every car from the factory is bad

@1997RegalGS somewhere I belong -linkin park

[ironman7818]

I agree the 4t65e tranny isn't that great on these vehicles, started having problems @ 150,000 miles on my 97" GTP. Changed the fliud and filter 4 times since then and it now has 210,000 miles. Pretty much can say my tranny is done, now I'm currently working to get a HD version strait from ZZ Performance that can handle tremendous amounts of hp for future motor upgrade. Gotta love the GM 3.8L, they are bulletproof. Bet I can get another 100k miles off my current motor easily!

[AmbassadorOfGlory]

@crzystve42 They are. Yours has got the same tranny as mine if i remember right, same hookups at least... i bet you could drop a manual in with the same amount of work if you really wanted. Its just a question of if you want to spend the time and money on that, or a new car you know. Unless if i find a steal on a Trans Am Im dropping in the manual cuz i love this car. :)
