I have a 93 camaro with the 3.4l v6. Will the transmission and torque converter from the 96 with the 3.8l v6 bolt up and work with my 93? Does the same mount and driveshaft work also? thanks.

 

No, 3.8 is a different engine with different bolt pattern.

 

Thank you. Are the torque converter's the same?

 

Sorry I can't say I ever installed a used converter. Autozone list the same part number for both the 3.8 and the 3.4 but they may have designed it so it could fit multi application.

 

Change the bellhousing and you should be good to go...

 

Automatic with a bell housing?

 

Lol I was a bit tired. Ignored the torque converter part of the first post ha.

No it won't work then.

 

2 things would prevent you from doing this swap

• The bell housings are different
• The trans out of that new of a car would be electronic (Meaning yours is probably a 700r4 not a 4l60. The trans out of the 3.8's are 4l60e (e=electronic)

So if you did a swap youd have to wire up a whole new computer just for your transmission solenoids would not let you shift into gear.

Answer to your question: You cant swap it.

 

Actually yes. Starting in 1996, the rwd version of the 4L60E has a separate bolt on bellhousing, using a common transmission body. But unfortunately, that change came too late for there to be a 3.4 bellhousing fit.

 

I knew I wasn't crazy then... It's been a while since I've had my trans down lol.
