Trans Swapout

SVXx2 · #1 06-20-2011, 03:10 PM

I have a 92 (silver/black) that is going to need a transmission soon (beginning to get steering stutter when I make a slow turn, i.e. from the driveway to the street). Also have a 96 that had the transmission replaced 3 yrs ago. I'm wondering if the transmission from the 96 can be swapped into the 92? (Then I'm gonna have to unload the '96...getting too expensive to keep both.) The Aamco guy (who replaced the trans in my 96) said it can't be done because of the OBD1/OBD2 issues between the 2 cars. Is he correct?

THANX for your comments.

Is the stutter the AWD not releasing properly or could it be air in your power steering lines? (o-ring issue?)

Or just a bad belt

Good questions, and THANX for the ideas. I don't think it's the PS belt. It looks to be in good shape, and the reservior is right on the money. As for the AWS not releasing, how would I check that?
