Default Transmission question

righto guys the auto in my EL I6 apparently is on its way out, i need a new one, fluid was black and full of metal shavings, copper looking. I wanted to know if i got a transmission from a V8 EL if that would be stronger and bolt straight in, or is the trans in the 6 same as the 8??

cheeers finnyman

PS: sorry, should have put in technical...my bad

v8 tranny are diff from the 6's, from memory there would be a fair bit of modding needed to get it to fit in

Theres one in the side of the radiator, EL's have em standard I think? Have a look, you'll see a steel tube at the top right hand side of the radiator, thats one of the auto cooler lines.
