I've heard you can put a 4.4 FD in the LS trany? Is this true?
Would it just be worth trying to get a used GSR trany? I'm just always alittle worried i'd get one that grinds, and I have no problems with the trany I have now, other then the gears are to LONG.
This is the number 1 thing I hate about the car. The trany gearing BLOWS. Shifting at redline in first to second brings the car to alittle over 4 grand. 2nd to third is worse. 5th gear is worthless unless you are on a FLAT stretch of highway doing 70+.
Also the damn CEL keeps throwing a code for System to Lean. Pulled the plugs they are semi whitish. It'll clear up with a can of sea foam and 93 Octane tho, within 100 miles of putting 89 the CEL comes back on. Its an LS its suppose to take 87, WTF?
EDIT: If I did replace the trany, is it worth looking into an LSD? I hear good things about the OBX LSD that is suppose to be a copy of the Quiafe LSD. OBX has a lifetime warranty as well.
