gear ratios
Are the gear ratios for a V6 cutlass supreme sl the same as an 88 SSE? I took the tranny frm the cutlass and put it in the SSE, I was told their were interchangeable. The car shifts fine with some adjustments I made to the TV cable and vacuum modulator valve, they just seem a little higher than what I have heard many of you who are experts here say they should be. I am installing a new tach to check and see if mine is reading correctly. I will chk your responses and give you my findings tomorrow.

What year was the Cutlass supreme?
And there were diffrences in the gear ratio... in 88 the only ratio used with the SSE was the 2.97 Gear ratio...
In 89 you could have had the 2.97 or the 3.33 ratio...

Also does it have the 4 pin or 5 pin connector?
I would say the trans should work for you.... For the RPO it will have to ne an ME9 with codes MX0 and F79 or GX3...

Re: gear ratios
Question on the same line. Can the gear ratios be changed during rebuild?
Let say you start out with a 2.97 final drive ratio transmission, can the components that make the final drive ratio 3.33 be installed in it? Or is there something different in the transmission case that prevents it?
(Just thinking out loud.. might be interested in taking my 90 LE and giving it a quicker transmission ratio)
