the transmission in the SE models (both 3.1 and 3.8) is a 4t60E, the 3.8 gt and 3.8 s/c GTP have the 4t65e (HD for the s/c models). the 4t60e can hold up to a base line 3.8 (was in SE's from i think 99 and up) but it's not a performance oriented tranny at all, and will break with any sort of power. hell, the 4t65e isnt worth much with modded L67's (s/c engine) it's a tough task, but has been done. i agree, though, if you're gonna do it, do it right the first time... unless you've also got plans for a turbo

Please spoonfeed me all of the information necessary to do this, despite the fact that this is not a grand prix forum, i don't care because even though searching there would reveal the answers, I'm too lazy to do my own research and would rather you just hand it to me without doing any work on my own. Thanks for all your help!
