automatic transmission question
Is there any reason an automatic transmission out of a 2000 vette wouldn't work in a 2001 vette? I've been told the only difference is electronics. Would like to verify before purchasing

Have you had any transmission trouble with your 2001 vette? The dealer shows a 2001 only on transmission replacement. The salvage yards also show 2001 only but it just really doesn't make sense because I've had several people tell me that it will work.. just want to be certain

There may have been some minor changes, that the Corvette powertrain engineers made to the transmission for 2001, which is why it's listed for 2001 only. Here's a link about the transmission case weight being 3.3 pounds lighter for 2001: http://www.corvettemuseum.com/specs/...erformance.htm
