New to Board.....

Post by MileHighSSEi »

Came over from 3800pro.com

I have a 1994 Bonne. SSEi....tranny decided to kill its input shaft last week,
so I'm curious if any of you guys might need some parts off a clean SSEi.

All of the electrical works and is in good shape. Motor was strong, new rebuilt supercharger, etc.

Just a crappy tranny,and I can't afford to stick $1500 in a tranny into it since I have about 4 other projects right now.

Thanks for your advise and help. I was a former Grand National owner, and it's crazy these *dang* 3800's last longer than the whole friggin' car!

Welcome...

why not swap in a used trans for under $300 instead of parting the car?

Sorry will update my sig.

I'm from Denver,CO...will have pics up shortly.

I'd swap it but it needs other stuff (shocks,etc), and with a motor rebuild going on with my DSM
I simply do not have the time (or garage space) to swap it.

Also, the car is probably only worth $1500, so if I paid someone to do it i don't feel a tremendous value in it.

First welcome to the club... I do Miss Colorado some days.... Lived in Colorado Springs for a long time..

At current I am ripping a couple of 4T60-E Transmissions apart... One will get a good freshen up... With the 4th Input Shaft, Output Shaft, Hardened Reverse Reaction, A rebuild kit with all of the gaskets, bands, seals, Steels, Friction Plates....... Filter kit and all... I think I spent $400 for the rebuild... But I'm doing the rebuild... I actually found some damage to the Output shaft, so I had to order that as well..

But I do understand what you are saying.... Sometimes enough is enough :)

Welcome to Pontiac Bonneville Club,

What type of shape are the headlights, and all the tail lights, and the trunk liner in?

I really need to stop charging my work for just sitting here looking at Pontiac Bonneville Club....
When i'm supposed to be doing work.

Thanks a ton guys.

Pics will be up here in a second.

While I'd love to build it up to a nice 13sec sleeper.....I simply don't have the time/garage space to do such.

Colorado is always hard to leave too:)
Any members in the denver area?

13 second sleeper would cost you plenty in a 94. :wink:

Go ahead and post what you have in the FOR SALE OR TRADE section. That's the proper location, and will give you more visibility.
