We're on the same boat man. These 2.8s last forever but man are they weak. Looking to swapping in the 3.4 but I dont wanna keep the transmission. Its going bad anyway. At around 55, it's not sure whether to stay in 3rd or 2nd.
Anybody know of any other transmission that will fit? With the 2.8 and the 3.4?

transmissions are limited to the stock or the T-5 if you want a five speed manual, gm didn't have too many options on the trans side when it came to the 2.8
