Transmission Interchangeability
I have a 2001 SE that needs a transmission. (Lovely grinding noise in reverse (only) and a bit of Metallica in the fluid). I’m too lazy to read the 243 topics that result from a search on “transmission”, so I’m taking the easy way out and asking here.
I’ll be scouring some boneyards for a replacement tranny, my question is what cars used this same transmission?

i believe your donor transmission will HAVE to come from either a Bonneville or LeSabre and nothing else... I think Haro knows more about this

Welcome to the "2000+ owners that need a new transmission" club.
do you have the FQ3 rpo code?
or is it an F83?
(spare tire cover)
Reason i ask is that there is a 2001 SE here in the yard.....(the cheap ghetto yard)..I can see if they still have the trans from it if you know the RPO code (gear ratio)

2001 -- Transmission -- Buick LeSabre -- FQ3 -- 76,798 -- 05156 -- $500 -- Labrum Auto Wrecking USA-UT(Salt-Lake City) -- 1-801-266-3541
2001-- Transmission -- Buick LeSabre -- 90 DAY,3.8,AT -- 508024 -- $475 -- Duanes Auto Wrecking USA-UT(Orem) -- 1-800-624-7062
A quick look on car-part.com revealed those. I do not see the one here in Burley listed. they also dont list most of their stuff so you gotta call them first, they are called Auto Wrex Plus -- (20 678-7580.
These transmissions are VERY specific because of the wiring, I've yet to find one for my car (low miles core at a good price) and i've been looking in several states.

Hans - dont know if you have been considering Park Avenues or not but Ed Morad has a HD from an 00' PA that he claims will work in a 00' SC Bonneville.

If he says PA is interchangable, I would believe it.
