Is there a difference?

[Derek3.4]

I'm wondering if there is any difference in the 93 3.4's and the 94-95 3.4. I've noticed when i looked around for stuff, it usually doesnt include the 93 year. Sorry if this might sound stupid or anything.

Re: Is there a difference?

someone will chime in but I think the only real differences where the transmissions... but I still don't think it was that big of a change...

1993
1993 marked the introduction of the all-new fourth generation of the F-Body. The engine available was the L32 3.4L V6. For these models, the standard transmission was the Borg-Warner T-5 5-speed manual, with the 4L60 4-speed automatic available as an option. Final drive ratio was 3.23. 1993 models came with 10.7"single-piston caliper front discs (the same as their V8 counterparts) but came with 9.5" rear drum brakes, a steel two piece driveshaft, a 16.9:1 ratio steering rack, 30mm front sway bar, and a 17 mm rear sway bar.

1994
In 1994 the 4L60 automatic transmission was overhauled and re-designated as the 4L60-E. The major difference was that the new transmission was computer controlled. There were no other significant changes for the 1994 model year.

1995
In 1995 there were two engines available. Initially the L32 3.4L was standard, with these being almost identical to 1994 models. Halfway through the year a few F-Bodies in California were sold equipped with the new L36 3800 Series II V6 engine. These cars only came with automatic transmissions, 3.42 rear gears, and an open differential. The 95 L36 marked the debut of OBD-II (On Board Diagnostic system, second generation) in the V6 F-Body. The OBD-II system included 4 oxygen sensors: one in each exhaust manifold, one in the Y-pipe before the catalytic converter, and one in the intermediate pipe just after the catalytic converter. Brakes, driveshaft, steering rack, and sway bars were identical to models of earlier years.

not sure, but i think 94 was the year they switched to OBD II

94 is OBD-I
95 is a modifed OBD-I (has some OBD-II stuff, but not full), often called a bastard OBD-I
