    Hi,
    The trans fluid is a light brown(very light) and the psi is about 50 when cold and 40 at wot (but don't change with rpm).

    I think i will sell the 3.8 and buy another 3.8 manual or a bmw 323ci.

    What do you think?
    Now yr thinking. A 3.8 stick!;)

      your best bet would be to get something newer if you're concerned about problems. when you buy used cars, you're buying someone else's problem (like your dark tranny fluid and your oil pressure).

      the LT1 is going to have quite a bit more power. it'll be like having a 100shot of nitrous on your v6.

      reliability and fuel consumption - the ignition system in the LT1 is known for problems and an automatic LT1 is going to eat gas - a manual LT1 would be great.

        Haha. Oh yes, Philly. I used to live in Camden near the B/F Bridge. What am I saying, my own grammar is far from perfect... damn the Northern New Jersey school systems! (and I say Central Jersey exists. :p)
