Auto Parts: Malibu Trans Interchange, chevy malibu, axle shaft


Question
Will a 1999 Chevy Malibu transmission interchange with a 1997
2.4 L 4 cyl. engine automatic

Answer
Hi Suzanne,

YES, it will! As long as you are referring to two Malibu's.

Here is the complete interchange with notes:

ALERO 99-00 A.T.; 2.4L
GRAND AM 99-00 A.T.; 2.4L
MALIBU 97-99 A.T.; 2.4L

4 spd. A.T., 4T40E, MN4.
3.42 ratio.
Short output shaft attached to inboard side of right axle shaft may at times stay with trans. instead of coming out with axle shaft.  Check when installing trans.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
