ok i lloked it up on google but i wanna double tap with some other people. in the 2.4L SS is the transmission the getreg f23? reason being is that my snycros went bad from first to second.

 

F23 for the Manual. 4T45e for the Auto.

 

cool thanks

 

ok well another question is that i found a transmission for it but its out of a 2.2L saturn ion. i dont know the year of it if that matters. but its a f23 as well would it matter?

 

I don't see why it would matter. I'm sure someone in here is more knowledgeable on the F23 than I am though.

 

Any f23 will do u should just rebuild it f23's are a fairly simple trans to take apart

 

I've read that the gears on the shafts are pressed on with around 10 tons of pressure. but yes they will be able to be swapped, its still an ecotec engine, the ss sc and tc transmissions I don't believe are swappable with the 2.2 or 2.4.

 

the only problem with rebuilding it is that i dont have the tools to take the gears and what not out of the unit itself. so i would have to take it to a shop which would run me about 1500 - 1700 to rebuild it. i know someone that has a f23 that has 34000 on it, for a decent price.

 

mine is always pretty hard to get into second gear from first. much harder than the other gears, could this be a syncro going bad?

 

Maybe yo need to readjust the shifter cable?

 

readjust how? When I put my short throw in i greased the cables and played with cable clamp positions, nothing helped.

 

mine wont grind unless im over 3500 rpms after that it grinds into 2nd. so if i get on it i have to let the rpms drop before i can shift. every shift after that is nice and smooth no matter what rpm it is.
