ive had tranny problems twice now in my 97 z28 6 speed and i heard that the ls1 trannys are much stronger. Is that true and would it bolt up to my lt1?

 

no and no
Bolt positions are different.

LT1 trannies have shown to handle alittle more abuse.

 

Bolt positions being on the bellhousing right? And the LT1 6-speed (Borg-Warner) is stronger than the LS1 trans (Tremec). Have they been serious problems?

I hate to say this but they are dang near the same trans and all parts will inter change save for the input shaft and front cover


Tremec bought out the B/W car trans department.

The only reason LS1 cars have more problems is they have more HP and drive them harder.

I like to build them with the newer Syncros blocker rings and the steel 3-4 fork.

as long as yours does not need many parts it is much cheaper to build your then buy a abused LS1 unit
