Jochen,

I have two of these cars, both coupes, both Supercharged GTPs. 3800's are great, but 4T60Es in the non-supercharged GTs had a 4th gear spline design flaw (not hardened properly) rendering the car a 3-speed when it fails, and it will eventually. Cuts the gas mileage in half, just windmills in 4th but 3rd is OK. A $38US part you have to drop the drivetrain to replace.

Also, if the trans fluid is dark/brown it is usually not because the trans needs to be serviced. Be prepared for a rebuild soon if it is. They are cheap as all get out in the US, resale is nil.
