Ok I know what you might be thinking. Why would you want to go from a Getrag to an Isuzu. Well here is
my dilemma. My car recently spun a rod bearing. I have a 96 with a 2.2. Whilst not having a car, my job
decided to let me go since i didnt have "reliable transportation".
I dont have the money to get the block rebuilt, so my friend is fixing to do a 3.4 swap into his 00 Sunfire.
He told me that if i wanted it I could have the motor and computer out of his car. That would be all fine
and dandy but I cant use it can I?
Here is my question, I know that there is a way to get the Getrag mounted to an older motor, but is there
a way to get an Isuzu bolted up to a newer motor without much of a cost?
seriously? so the only problems you run into is going from getrag to isuzu?
Ok if it uses a different Flywheel, then that means they are balanced different. And to my knowledge they are balanced with their specific harmonic balancer to reduce vibrations. So if they are different flywheels then that means they are different HBs and thus the engine balance will be off right? or wrong?
wrong..same pulley..youll also have to change the mounts, and weld new ones on your car, shift cables, shifter assemby..basically..save up and get the getrag..its retarded to do that work for a crappier tranny to save a few bucks..phil
A 1996 2.2 came with an Isuzu. Getrags come from 2000+, so I think you actually be going from an Isuzu to a Getrag.
from what im reading, basically hes 96 engine died, and wants to put a newer engine with the isuzu, not swap trannys
yea, he's got me all confused...... idk why this post is "Getrag to Isuzu" when its about an engine swap.

swaping trannies or swaping motors, does it really matter?
just help him answer his question.

ok i dont have any money. my friend is giving me his 2000 motor, without the tranny so i need to know what all i need to get the Isuzu tranny onto the new motor. hope that clarifies things.
Nothing, the 2000+ motor is exactly the same as the 98-99. You don't have to worry about the transmission side of it, like I said, engines aren't auto or manual, isuzu or getrag, just the transmissions are. You will NOT have to worry about the transmission side, just make sure you use the isuzu flywheel and you will be just fine.

Buy stuff from CarCustoms Ebay! Won't be disappointed!
He's going to have to do some rewiring for the motor, since his 96 came with the 2.2, and the 2000 has a 2200
Thanks guys and sorry for the confusion. Wow I really need to get a signature.
