Aftermarket/Non-Factory Transmission Options

Here are a few other transmissions that have worked pretty well before with a 3800.

Keep in mind if you're doing a swap, especially with a manual trans, that there are quite a few different flywheel/flexplate options that you could have on your 3800.
More information can be found about that here: Flexplate and Flywheel Options

Front Wheel Drive:

4T80e (4 speed automatic)
Getrag 282/284 (5 speed manual)
Getrag F23 (5 speed manual)
Getrag F40 (6 speed manual)
Muncie 4 speed (Fiero) (4 speed manual)

Rear Wheel Drive:

Tremec T56 (6 speed manual)
THM250/THM350/THM400 (3 speed automatic)

These are transmissions that are not as well documented or have not been attempted yet but look promising

Rear Wheel Drive:

CD009 (6 speed manual)
Aisin a340e (4 speed automatic)
