Re: Manual Transmission for my Northstar
Ok? So if they don't have a transmission then there aren't any in Edmonton?
Grove auto has a 282 out of a 91 Cavalier. If you can bring yourself to shop at other places than the ones mentioned you can have a 282.

Re: Manual Transmission for my Northstar
Pick and pulls around here rarely get something that new.
Car-part.com is the best advice you've gotten.

Re: Manual Transmission for my Northstar
Wasn't jncomutt going to do a 4T80 behind his 3800T at one point? I haven't talked to him in a quite a while though and I think he's moved to newer cars.
Re: Manual Transmission for my Northstar
Yeah. I think he went with a modified F23 in the end. But I haven't talked to him lately either.

That controller is actually pretty damn good. Just expensive.

Re: Manual Transmission for my Northstar
What about the stock Auto transmission? I could use my auto from my 87 to atleast get me by until I can buy another transmission. The 87 Auto isnt computer controlled if I am correct.

I'm sure it'll do great, I mean, you're only tripling the horsepower and torque.

Re: Manual Transmission for my Northstar
I wouldn't bother with an engine swap until you have all the parts you need laying in front of you. The stock auto might get you around but you won't be able to thrash it.
Re: Manual Transmission for my Northstar
Are you talking about the stock Fiero transmission (TH125C)? If so, I think its a terrible idea.Identity Crisis wrote:What about the stock Auto transmission?

Re: Manual Transmission for my Northstar
If you want to use a auto then use the 4t65 from the 3800 car, use the northstar from the caddie
FieroPhrek working on that ls4 swap for 18 years and counting now. 18 years!!!!! LOL

Re: Manual Transmission for my Northstar
That would be a disaster. You'd need to install a throttle stop at 45% TPS.Identity Crisis wrote:What about the stock Auto transmission? I could use my auto from my 87 to atleast get me by until I can buy another transmission. The 87 Auto isnt computer controlled if I am correct.

Re: Manual Transmission for my Northstar
So you can't use the Cadillac engine, trans, and ecu?
What are guys like Madcurl on Old Europe doing for transmission control, I thought he had a N*/4T80.

It's been done... OP hasn't done enough research. I'm not the encyclopedia for 4T80E swaps, because I've never done one.CincinnatiFiero wrote:So you can't use the Cadillac engine, trans, and ecu?
