u will need one trust me thats exactly what happend to my bros grand Prix b4 it blew out... Rebuilts suck for Pontiacs and their junkyard ones are prolly going to be your best bet... I would look in your area for a jy with a considerable amount of tranys sittin around. I do happen to know that near me there is a place who has tons of them just sittin around im sure he has a Pontiac Sunfire Trany

Where do u live Mith?

I recently changed the fluid and found more than normal amount of metal powder in the tranny pan.

Metal in the pan isnt exactly a good think... Trust me, if you found metal in the pan the car is going to need a tranny sooner than later....

Where do you live? I could help you get a tranny for 75 bucks and get it put in for you for another 150 - 200 if youre close....

Yeah, the pan has a magnetic on the botton to collect shavings... Its a bad deal bub, but so is life...
