Transmission Swap Help I have a recently purchased a 2000 Camaro Z28 with a bad transmission. I also have a 2002 Pontiac Firebird V6 with a 3800 that spews oil out of any possible crevice. I was planning on just having the the Camaro's Trans rebuilt but I was wondering if the Firebird's transmission could be put into the camaro. I know the bellhousing, input shaft and out put shaft but ive heard about electrical and physical differences between thouse few years. Would this be possible?

BELL .SHAFT, STATOR ARE DIFFERENT. Some have an aluminum fwd apply plate in the V6 not sure that really matters though. Pretty much thats it , I have used them and swapped to make either the other. Its the V6 unit that is actually the more rare.
