  • A4 to A4 swap?

    Can I take a a4 out of a 94-95 3.4 v6 and put it into my 96 3.8 v6?
    Reason is that I have had that famous 4l60e slip, wear it slips in 2nd (well on mine) but then goes away the next day. Meaning that one day if I run the car at average throttle around 0-60 at half throttle all day that it will slip secound but grab every other gear harder. Its weird. I have this 3.4 motor and automatic that I pulled from a stripped firebird and traded what was left for a race engine for my race car. It is weird because when I give it full throttle it will hook the gear until high rpm then try and slip acting like it is the vorce regualtor valve or whatever you call it, I think it is a bad band in gear 2 tho, Oh well, Can this swap be done from the small v6 to the big v6?

    the two big issues I cain see are:

    1) are the tranny harness connectors the same, i.e. big connector same & vss connector ( I found out the 95 3800 tranny I had had a different vss connector than the 98 4L60E I had swapped in along with.....

    2) Are the torque arm mount brackets on the tail end are the same. again, the 95 4L60E had a different pattern than the 98 tranny.

    2a the tranny mount might be different location also, here's a link to the issue I had: http://dayton-fbody.com/DFBAbb/viewt...ghlight=tranny

      Well the 98 newer style trannys are controled by the computer. Thats why the trans kits for the 4l60E are listed for 93-97. My hanyes manual doesn't really say much about the trans. So I was going by what I already knew, they look the same to me. Everything. I was just curious about the bolt pattern.

        I could be wrong here but i think that trans wont fit . The bellhousing is diffrent 60 degree vs 90 dergee.

            why is it when i run a search for trans for a 96 it only brings up 96 and up 3.8 and not the 3.4 series engine . i'm searching www.car-parts.com . and it uses the hollander database .
