Excellent, hopefully I don't regret it. I got a brand new f23 from df kit car for $500. Done having trans issues. I found a post from OshawaHHRss on cobaltss.net with a more in depth parts he used. My swap should share most of the things, I'm just unsure about the shifter at this point.
I did search, and I did see OshawaHHRss. However he went from automatic to f23 I'm going f35 to f23.
Yes, obviously enough. F35 -> F23 is much less trouble. But Osh has some experience with the F23 so if I were you I'd glean what I could. You can search for his other posts and comments. I've read a bunch at an unmentionable social media site on that swap, so some googling should pay off. Some of the vendors even cover it I think. You could also try this before a mod deletes it: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/08-1...3-swap-325894/

I did the F40 swap last summer. A question I've had that would be helpful here: Is there any way to recalibrate the ODOMETER? I didn't realize that recalibrating the speedometer didn't also cover the odometer. Any way to accomplish this?
You need a Tech2 or similar and the know-how to do it. Basically lie about the tires on the placard. Whoever did the speedo should know how to do the Odo.

I had ZZP do the speedo, they don't do odometer. Gave me a name to try, but they didn't do it either. Any specific suggestions? I'm in the Chicagoland area.
GM does not use Tech2 anymore, they have changed to a different computer (GDS2). However, I have not heard of a GM technician that knew how to use one.
I'm not sure how adjusting the speedo doesn't adjust the odo. As far as I can figger they are both based on tire circumference and output shaft speed sensor.
How do you know the odo is not correct?

The speedometer is within a MPH of GPS speed. The odometer reads about 1 mile per 5 miles driven - not even close!
Then my guess is they used some "trick" to make the speedo work.
I may be totally wrong but I think the only adjustment in the computers is the tire placard. I know that you can adjust that when you use different size tires than came from the factory. When I used 215 55 instead of 215 50 the speedo was off by about 3 MPH and the odo about the same percent. I guess, I'm saying "you gotta find someone that knows how to program OBD2 computers"; no one here I know of.
They must have adjusted the odo to make the speedo correct. That seems illegal to me.
