1991-1996 GTP question

[nikita7]

Hey guys! I got a question to the GP experts about LQ1 engine. Was there a manual transmission (Getrag 284) availible on GTPs with LQ1 produced in 1991-1996 or was it all 4 speed auto ? Also what is the power output of LQ1 ?

Thanks.

The LQ1 (also called the Twin Dual Cam) was a special DOHC version of the 3.1 L LH0 V6. It was built from 1991 to 1997. 1991-1993 it used tuned multiport fuel injection, made 200-210 hp @ 5,200 rpm and 215 ft. lbs torque @ 4000 rpm. 1994-1997 it used sequential fuel injection (SFI) making 215 hp @ 5,200 rpm and 225 ft. lbs torque @ 4,000 rpm. It has four large valves per cylinder. The 3.4 L uses a cogged belt to drive the four overhead camshafts. The gearbox options for the LQ1 were a 4 speed Hydra-Matic electronic shifting transmission and a 5 speed Getrag 284 manual transmission, unique to the LQ1. Adapting a pushrod block for overhead cams was difficult, and the 60° vee angle made this a very tall engine, but power output was impressive.

Bore was increased to 92 mm, but the 3.1 L engine's 84 mm stroke was retained. There are only a few interchangeable parts between this DOHC engine and other members of the 60° family, namely the connecting rods and crankshaft.

The heads and intake manifolds were redesigned for the 1996 model year, incorporating a larger throttle body and plenum area, slightly shorter intake runners, cloverleaf combustion chambers, and larger "pill"-shaped exhaust ports. Camshafts and cam timing were also revised for the new, higher RPM powerband.

Applications:

1991-1994 Chevrolet Lumina Z34
1991-1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
1991-1996 Pontiac Grand Prix
1995-1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34
1995-1997 Chevrolet Lumina LS

hahaha WHATS THE DIFFERENCE MAN,THAT INFO WILL ANSWER BOTH OF YOUR QUESTIONS..WHATS IS THE POWER OUTPUT?? THERE IT IS.....DID THEY HAVE A MANUAL??? THERE IT IS..HAHAHA BUT OK IF YOU NEED SOMEONE WHO OWNS ONE TO TELL YOU THEN MY FRIEND WHO OWNS A Z34 SAYS YES THERE IS A MANUAL AND HE SAID THE SAME THING AS THE SPECS ON THE POWER.HAHAHAH MAN I REALLY DONT UNDERSTAND THAT RESPONCE BUT OK.I WILL LET SOMEONE ELSE CHIME IN.

z34s do have manual transmission. I asked about GTP, it says nothing about GTPs having manual. Manuals are unclear about GTP transmissions. I wanted a response from the owned who actually has a manual GTP with getrag 284, since I think that data is a bit biassed.

According to the info I have, the GTP only offered a manual trans from 91-93, and it was discontinued due to slow sales in 94. The Grand Prix GT was also offered with a 3.1 Turbo and a 5-speed in 91, and with a 2.8/5-speed combo in 88-89.
