2005 Chevy comfort transmission replacement Sign In

Hi. I need to replace the transmission on my chevy ( build in Mexico). I contacted GM with the VIN. They told me that my transmission was a ML4 TRANSMISSION AUTO 4 SPD, THM 4L30-E, CONV CLUTCH. On what model of car can I find an equivalent transmission to replace mine?

Hello,
The 4L30E transmissions are used in early BMW(1999 and down) they are used in honda pilots and honda passports(mid 90's) and isuzu troppers(mid 90's) i checked some gm cars cant find any the use this trans(cant even think of any) bellhousings are probably all different, and the bellhousing is part of the pump. What model chevy do you have? Gary

Re: 2005 Chevy comfort transmission replacement Sign In

Thanks a lot for your help. To give you more background, I live in Dominican Republic, where a good mechanic is almost impossible to find....
And I don't know anything about transmissions...
And my little Chevy a really rare model. ( OSE19-D on the title, it says comfort on the door ).

If I managed to get a transmission of one of the car models listed, it should fit my car? Any problem I might run into? Any other piece I will need to replace?
Thanks again.

Hello,
2 things to start with to check are bellhousing, different engines sizes, the bellhousing will be a different shape also, the wiring harnesses are different, bmw has only one harness where an isuzu has 2 harnesses. Gary

Can I replace the transmission from another car model, or does it have to come from the exact same car?

If you can find one from the same car, thats good, if not research will have to be done to make sure the other model will fit,these transmissions are used in a variety of different cars. You can get anything earlier than 2000, In the year 2000 the hydraulics changed. Gary

Gary, did you mean to say "can't" ?

His car is a 2005
