could the auto trans be the one they use in the early vt's would they be the same as the vs ones?
i know the engine is the 179 kw one they use in the vt's

You have a 4L60E trans. Although there are some differences in the actual trans from VN -> VT and between V6 and V8, the service kits are similar. The only difference being the filters depending whether you have a shallow pan or a deep pan.

Also fluid is Dexron III ATF

Pull out the transmission dip stick, and if it is a deep pan, it should say "deep pan" next to where the oil level is. If its a shallow pan then it wont say anything.
