I picked up a 2001 bonneville SSEI from craigslist for $1000 with a slipping trans.

Image

When I got there the car no fluid in the trans. I put 7 Qts of trans fluid in it and started to drive it home . Car was 240 miles from where I live. When I stopped again about 50 Miles away we realized my car was losing alot of Transmisson fluid fast. Limped it over to Billboost house.

Sitting here about 2-3 hours ago and the doorbell rings. :? It's a silver 2001 with a slight trans leak. I forget how many quarts to the mile, but it wasn't good. Welcome Oldsman and his old man in and let's take a look at where the leak is coming from.

Let's beat Antonio to the punch on pics

Never a good sign
Image
Image

And his first mod, he looks like a stang...no?
Image
Image
Image

Now..let's see what's leaking (all the parts on the floor came from the car)
Image
Image

Any wetness under the car is trans fluid
Image
Image

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

For anyone that doesn't know, that's a differential output cover. And here's why it's leaking so badly.. big crack
Image
Image

Here's his differential
Image
Image
Image
Image

A couple hours later, a spare diff that I had laying around along with a differential cover borrowed off my buddies transmission with permission and then a trans service .....WTF it was still leaking. Trans dipstick tube was rusted and had a hole. Walk over to the side of the garage and grabbed a w body tube for his second mod of the evening.

At this point things are all good overall. There is some internal damage, it seems minimal and in the differential area and ring gear. He mentioned it wouldn't go into 4th gear, probably a bad 4th gear output shaft. It'll need to be rebuilt and he has his old trans as a parts donor or spare. What we do know for sure is it's no longer leaking, running as well as a $1000 car can run. :lol:

It got the PDM seal of approval by the Dino himself
Image



Car made it home after some quick repair work.

More pices to come soon.

Good score! Yes, the L32 is and always was drive by wire. Most likely the replaced engine used some compatible L32 parts used to rebuild/replace the L67.

Have fun fixing it up!

I was talking to Bill yesterday and we chatted about your new car... I agree with you in that I feel that you may very well have an L32 Longblock :wink:

Good stuff so far. It's still with a Gen 3 supercharger, right? I guess a rebuild place wouldn't bother with throttle body adapter plates and whatnot. Would you care to try Haro & Agrazela's trick to replace just the 4th shaft? It may work. I assume you have a spare transmission from the Riviera, but is that the 2003+ version that wouldn't have the 4th gear issue again?

The shop I work at gave me a free detail (I think they are really happy the Riviera is gone)
I will be taking more pictures soon.

Dealer sticker will be removed soon, Also there is a scuff on the passenger door that will be repainted after I secure a new transmission for my car.
