I have a 97 Z24 with a stick and the trans is gone and I can get my hands on a 93 Grand Am GT with a 2.3HO and stick but the motor is bad, will the 93 trans work in the 97?
All Quad 4 HO cars came with the Getrag manual trans. Your Z24 has an Isuzu. They will swap becuase they both have the exact same bell housing. I have done this same swap, but the other way, newer trans into older car. I had to swap shift cables, shifter, trans mounts, and jack shaft as well. I also had to swap from an external clutch to an internal clutch, so i ported over the master cylendar and resivior, but did not have to change the clutch pedal. I know it sounds like alot, but its really not, especially if you have a complete donor car. it will be no big deal.

Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.
