Help needed: Will a transmission from a 1988 base or gxl fit in my 1990 gtu?
I think the trans is bad in my 1990 gtu
The local junk yard has a 1988 base and a 1988 gxl, which trans should I ask for?
If so will it bolt straight in or will I need to change things?
Sorry if this question has been asked in the past, I did a search and did not come up with anything. (tried, “trans swap” and “trans 88 90”)
By the way the symptoms are, car shakes all the time at speeds above about 40, shakes below 40 when the trans is under load, and the speedometer stopped working.
Thanks,
Dave

As for the speedo, check the drive cable.

Thanks, Roen
Just to clarify, the rx7 guy at the junk yard thinks it should work but his parts interchange manual says it won’t.
And yes both cars are n/a
Hecubus84,
I noticed the thread about bad u joints, but figured that the speedometer going at the same time indicated the trans, I will check the u joints first.
