getrag f23

[jawa]

i found a getrag f23 in the yard today. would that tranny work on my lx9

[sleepyalero]

umm i believe it can. not 100% sure though. but IIRC i did see somewhere that it would bolt up.

Depends on what engine it was off of... If it was an 00-02 sunfire/cavalier with a 2200 OHV then yes.. Any other F23 wont work. The 2200 has the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the 60 degree V6s... It's called the "GM Metric Pattern"

[jawa]

how do i determine eat engine it came off of

[Shiwnath]

There might be some sort of casting number but the easiest way is actually looking at it... The Metric bolt pattern is in a hexagon style shape.
Look through this and you'll see some of GM's bolt patterns... Also it's very informative on the F23

there is a N stamped on it on the bellhousing

[Shiwnath]

Yeah if you have it in your posession then compare it to the bolt pattens on that link I posted above or take a picture.

[jawa]

got a pic of it. can't tell if it will bolt up to the 60° v6

bad news... That's an ecotec version of the F23.

What you need looks something like this:
