Transmission replacement between GM vehicles?

Asked by genoafossoa Mar 10, 2013 at 07:54 PM about the 1994 Pontiac Firebird Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Would my car be completely destroyed if I tried to swap out the transmission for a completely different GM vehicle's transmission? For example, if I was to swap out a ford focus 1994 engine into my 1994 pontiac firebird.

Alternatively, could I just swap a different pontiac's transmission like a g4 or g6 or 1986 firebird?

I'm just not finding any vehicles close to mine out there. Firebirds are almost non-existent like shiny pidgeys. My transmission is in rough shape and needs a swap.

Even if it was the focus is a fwd and the firebird is a rwd the g4 isn't a car and g6 is also fwd. 86 firebird has an old trans that might work but it would make your pcm go crazy.
