#797 of 849 Buy a 96 Chevy Lumina ? by loretts Jan 16, 2007 (11:10 am)
Hi, I am new to this forum. I am looking at a 1996 Chevy Lumina, 3.1 V6, 95,000 on the body, with a rebuilt engine of 60,000. Standard features, ABS, AC, driver and passenger airbags,, new battery, new front brakes and rotors, power door locks, manual windows. The previous owner did not keep an eye on engine coolant and blew the engine. A mechanic, (who is now the seller of this vehicle), put the new engine in, as well as the new brakes, battery. He also has done some of the service on the car, the alternator recently.   I went over the car with my limited experience. Could not drive it on highway off the lot, no plates, but seems fine. Auto trans shifts smoothly. Engine purrs nicely. Interior is a bit beat, dirty front carpets. Looking under while on lift, I noticed rear suspension looks flaky rusty, as well as rear brakes drums. Should I be concerned about this? The mechanic said this is normal for a car of this age. However, the front end did not look as rusty, and the 18 year old truck that I drove over in, when I got down and looked underneath for comparison was not as rusty. The car sat for a little while till a new engine came along. Rest of car seems clean, except for a small paint bubble on right side lower back end of car. Car fax has no alerts. The mechanic wants to get $2500. I would appreciate some feedback about this car, as I have not owned a Chevy. Replies to this message: codered (Jan 16, 2007 1:50 pm)

Replying to: kerryace2000 (May 01, 2005 3:58 pm) Hi, I have exactly the same problem with my lumina 3.1, 95 model. How did you solve the problem. Was the heater element/air conditioner to blame and if so how do I fix it? Thanks

#802 of 849 Transmission by opiedog2002 Jan 27, 2007 (8:15 pm)
I have a 1993 Lumina and I was wondering if the transmission from a 1995 olds cutlass would fit because the transmission I have in my 93' is shot. Would the halfshafts be different in the 1993 than in the 95? I bought this transmission under the impression that the transmission would be completely compatable so if anyone can help I would appreciate it a lot.

Replying to: opiedog2002 (Jan 27, 2007 8:15 pm) as long as they are the same model(4T60E most likely) (4 speed auto)and have the same electrical plugs then they should be interchangeable yes you could do a transmission search on car-part.com   alot of the times the car year make and model is listed on the results for parts searches   good luck

#806 of 849 Trouble shooting by oscarm Feb 26, 2007 (6:33 am)
Hey everyone I own a 1996 chevy lumina with about 130k miles on it she's a 3.4 V6 she ran great until I notice oil spills and if I passed 60mph, it started to shake a little. Well today I tried to take her apart to change the spark plugs, I have a shop manual and I notice oil in the around the spark plugs and a lot of it I removed the head and two of the seals for the spark plugs where a little twisted out of shape one in the front and the other in the rear where the spark plugs went I was going to remove fuel rail because I notice oil and antifreeze moisture around the area but I'm stuck I don't know what to do the manual does not really tell me anything else ???
