I actually lauphed out loud when I read that. Get an SS S/C trans, but send it off to have the gears hardened first. They aren't exactly super stars at this point.

You are correct. But will it fit the motor with any custom mods.

I have Injen intake, pacesetter headers, magnaflow cat, magnaflow exhuast, and hyper voltage system . I got it dynode at 147 whp and 161 ftq . I want to either build a great forged engine or prep it for boost . Prob a hanh race caft turbo stage 3 kit at 8 psi and full exhaust from hanh. The reason I want a trany swap is for higher spead potential. This car will be reliable and a good cruiser with some *****. . Want I want with this car is to show every one what our cars are capable of with the proper mods.

I don't see why it wouldn't, but there's really only one way to find out. Swap it in. It should theoretically fit. All three blocks are the same size. So long as it would fit on an SS S/C it should fit with your car, Mods that is.

you don't need to do anything to your trans as of now... can we see the slip and explain what this hyper voltage thing is? most of these that i've heard of either don't do anything or hurt performance...

Sweet, GL. Not sure, but the tranies should be interchangable. And if they arn't, you can always get it custom fab'd to fit.

EDIT: I think you have a while before you need a tranny upgrade...

The hyper voltage system acts like a second battery for your car. It works really well with a proper ignition system and grounding kit.

Perhaps I'm missing something. What kind of trans do you have right now in your 2.2? Is it the auto or manual? Either way, you already have the same exact trans that's in the 2.4! If you have a manual Getrag and you want the the SS/SC F23 trans, then that is possible.

You're right because I work right next to a machine shop and could fab any thing up whenever I want.

for all the effort of swapping a trans, go big or go home. either have an auto from an impala fitted, like the GM drag cars do... OR have your f35 (correct model) hardened internally and made stronger.

Sorry, F35. My bad.

If you really want to do that, you can go cheap by picking one up used, probably from a junk yard, and just swap it in. Probably cost you no more the $500. But I would take my own advise, get one out of a junker, and send it out for a performance overhaul (hardening as others are referring to it). Find a performance trans shop in your area. Or, send it to IPT. They did my 4T45E.

Higher speeds. Ours will top out at 135 mph.

Different gear ratios and an LSD option.

you joke, but it can be done. i'm not 100% sure on how it works, but they can either heat treat the metal, or shot peen it to make it stronger. i think it's usually a combo of both.
