Description
The 2000 Pontiac Firebird transmission is available in both a 4-speed automatic (4L60E) and a 6-speed manual (Getrag 282) configuration, designed for rear-wheel-drive setups. The manual transmission features close-ratio gearing with six speeds ranging from 3.50:1 in first gear to 0.50:1 in sixth, offering precise control for performance driving. The automatic transmission provides smooth shifting with gear ratios from 3.06:1 in first gear to 0.70:1 in fourth gear, controlled electronically for ease of use.
Both transmissions handle torque outputs around 300 to 350 lb-ft and use appropriate fluids—Dexron III for automatic and manual transmission fluid for the manual version. Built with durable components like hydraulic clutches for the manual and torque converters for the automatic, these transmissions ensure reliable power delivery and compatibility with the V6 and V8 engines in the 2000 Firebird.
Firebird transmission fitment requires matching your specific trim and transmission variant. The T56 in the F-body application uses a specific bellhousing and shifter location unique to the Camaro/Firebird platform. The 4L60E in the F-body has a specific oil pan and output shaft different from the truck application. Our application review confirms the exact transmission for your Firebird before it ships.
Fourth-generation F-body owners comparing a used transmission, a remanufactured transmission, and an OEM transmission for the T56 or 4L60E will find the used OEM route preserves factory performance most authentically. A used 2000 Pontiac Firebird transmission from a verified low-mileage F-body gives you the factory OEM transmission — T56 with the factory F-body gear ratios and shift feel, or 4L60E with the factory F-body calibration — as an OEM transmission unit. No remanufactured transmission from a mixed application core matches the factory F-body shift characteristics.
Every used 2000 Pontiac Firebird transmission ships with up to a 90-day warranty and arrives within 2 to 5 business days. Installation is not included. These are genuine GM OEM units, and we stand behind every one.
