Hey guys i am looking to do another Ecotec swap..........i cannot find any infor regarding AUTOMATIC swaps
i want to swap a 00-02 SFGT 2.4 Automatic to a Ecotec Automatic. aren;t they the same tranny?? i was just wondering about the tranny mounts. if they are the same its a direct bolt in like my 5 speed
i searched it only came up with 5 speed swaps........
and yes i know i should switch it form auto - 5 speed but the reason for this one to stay auto is the g/f wants one and she refuses to learn to drive my car. so the Tahoe is drinkin lots of gas lol time for 3rd vehicle
if I remember correctly, the tranny mounts are different between the 2.4 and the Eco. I could be mistaken though.
I know the tranny mounts are different on the 5 speed but not sure on the automatic...
and Rich Grayo Jr thanks captain obvious i think i knew that since the sunfire i drove now is a Eco swap
it may have been the way you worded it Greg, at first it messed me up too, then I realised what you meant by it when I saw the mounts part.
ok i was at work and posted quickly
Are the Transmission mounts for a Ecotec automatic Tranny the same as the 2.4 automatic Tranny...........thats the question.........i know about everything else for the swap just now this.....
All 3rd gen automatic transmissions(3t40 & 4t40e) share the same mounting points on the jbody. The only difference is 3spd and 4spd use different mounts and a different shifter. Now to answer your question they are both 4t40e's but the bellhousing is different. So you will need to purchase a eco trans
