You will also need a flywheel from a 1999 Chevrolet Camaro with a 3800 and Manual transmission. I bought mine brand new from CarQuest for $75.

You will also nee a custom clutch. I got some measurements sent off to SPEC, and got the clutch right the second time. I had them save it on file with a part#, so if you go with a SPEC, you can just use one of these part numbers. Part number SC883H-4 . That is your st2+. Stage 2 would be SC882-4, and stage 3+ would be SC883F-4 .

You will also need a custom CV shaft for the passenger side. I don't know yet what all needs to be done, other than the shaft is two inches two short. The spines on the G6 axle splines are smaller than on the Grand Prix, so you will need two front wheel bearings for a 2002 Malibu with ABS.

You will also need to relocate your oil filter. I went with this kit from Jegs, and had to grind a little "excess metal" off it. JEGS 51715 - JEGS Remote Oil Filter Mounts - JEGS

You will also need to change your pulses per mile to 60662 in order for your speedo to be accurate.

I still haven't figured out my shifter boot.


Now that I have used up the first two pages of the other thread to decide that it is possible, I will start a new thread, just for a progress report. I pulled the car into my friends garage, and we got the old tranny out in under two hours. Not bad considering that we hardly had any tools out there. Next time I will take my whole toolbox from work. I haven't done anything exciting yet, so the first pictures will be kind of boring.

You can leave the struts in place for this swap

Well I got it all torn down, and started to fit the transmission today. A little more work is required than I first thought.

Removing the center console.













We don't need this anymore!



Making room for installing the clutch pedal.









We need to somehow fit a master cylinder in there.







I had to pull the wiper cowl off to unplug the connector for the wiper motor.



Here is what we were after.



And it is out.



The room we need.





Longer flywheel bolts are needed.



The flywheel on the engine.



The tranny in place.



It looks like I will need to modify the unibody.



My subframe is sitting about 3 inches lower than it should be. and there still isn't room.





Removed heat shield, and I got almost all the room that I need.

while your down there you could wrap them w/ exhaust wrap to replace that heat shield

I could, but not all of the pipe has a shield, so I am not worried.

Actually, I am going to keep the GP console. I just don't need my shifter anymore, and I had to take the console out to get to it.

We will see. The F40 is about 3 inches longer than the 4T65e, hence my "crap" picture. I will have to do a little fabrication on the unibody.

Did you have to mod the flywheel?

As I type my friend Ben is refabbing the unibody so the tranny will fit. With a little cutting bending and welding, the tranny will now fit. We also ground a little metal off the shift counter weight. I will post pictures later. I may not be able to update this very much, because my schedule is very tight.

Well I just got home, and here is the latest report. We have successfully made the transmission fit.



My best friend Ben (left), and my brother Josiah (right).



Ben Welding.



Bens wife holding little Ivan. It is a rather tight circle, because my brother Josiah, and best friend Ben, married two sisters. So Ivan is "our" nephew, and Josiah's boy.



The shift counter weight ground down so it won't hit the exhaust crossover.



Ben Welding.



Jerry grinding the weld. The welder is not really made for this kind of work, and the rods were damp, so the weld wasn't the best. We ground it down and made it look good.



Ben enjoying a root beer float.



I'll be putting the Clutch and shifter in tomorrow after work. I'll keep you posted the best I can.

i was just thinking..how are you going to convince the pcm that the car is in drive at all times?

also, is the tachometer going to work? until you get used to it and shift by the way it sounds, you'll proabbaly want the tach.

wow!!!! you guys are kicking ass on this project!!!

I am going to jump the transmission range switch. The tachometer is actually run off the cam/crank sensors, so there won't be a problem.

Nice work guys, that looks like a fin project, and should be a blast to drive once your all done.

We are working on it again tonight, and are running into one problem after another. First off, the G6 Clutch does NOT bolt up to the Camaro flywheel. Second, the G6 CV axles spin freely inside the splines on my Grand Prix axles. My solution is this. Just use bearings off a Malibu. I will have to cut metal shims to put between the hub assembly and the steering knuckle, but I am sure that this will be driving down the road yet.

didn't the Grand Am swap use the G6 fly wheel? also the buick reatta?

could the Grand Am wheel barrings bolt up to the GP nuckles seeing as the axles fit the GA?
