for my 1998 Olds Delta 88 ( 3.8 v6 with a 4T65E automatic transaxel ) . Will this transmission take it ? - thanks


IMO: I would not ever hook a trailer to a unibody car. I'm not worried about the tranny as much as I would the body of the car. I think the V-6 would handle the load, but NOT the tranny nor the body. Check the owners manual and see if it is even rated to tow.
