It seems the 3.8 transmission for my vehicle is a rare thing to find. The cost is outrageous for a used transmission. A friend of mine who is a backyard mechanic says that a 3.3 transmission will work if the modulator is also changed. Will this really work? I can get a modulator and 3.3 transmission for less than half than the other.

We strongly recommend staying with direct fit parts. When you start changing things on today's cars, other problems occur such as sensor issues, modules, computers not recognizing components...
