LNF 2.0 turbo transmissions!

So I recently broke my transmission and the lnf lsd tranny are hard to come by and pretty expensive I was wondering if I could put in a different transmission could I get a list of transmission that’ll fit the 2.0 turbos, people say The super charged cobalt fits, also Saturn ion red line would. Thanks

the reason the supercharged and redline ones fit, is becuase they are the same F35 transmission. you can get an LNF which comes with 3.82 gears. Redline/SC comes with 4.05 as well as the HHR. they will all work.

You don't need an LSD equipped transmission. Open diff is just fine, unless you're tracking the car.

As was already mentioned, you can source multiple F35's from different model year Cobalts, HHRs and Ion Redlines.

He is on Facebook. I've met him and he is decent enough and helps out the guys who he tunes, getting their cars running better. I'm not tuned by him though, and don't plan to be.

I've got him on facebook. I almost got him to tune me after I found out everything about Matt Howe if you know who that is.

He owes a lot of people money and more than just transmissions. He's on the DL and hauls vehicles for a living now.

Sorry to hear that. He was doing a lot of transmissions there for awhile but who knows if he even rebuilt them.

Still going on my 120k mile 3.82 LSD. Praying it doesn't explode.
It's normal to hear transmission noises while FREEZING COLD when I just start moving right? Fluid needs to warm up and circulate? Plus the F35 is a loud gearbox from what I understand.

Mine does. And it grinds going into 2nd gear. But only when its cold, then its fine. The first few shifts in the morning when its cold I'll go 1st to 3rd. I'm wondering if it could be my clutch or TOB causing the issues. I'm changing it in a few weeks so we shal see
