Wont accelerate! At all!

Karl, have you confirmed good fuel pressure? It sounds like a weak fuel pump to me. Is your Check Engine light on? If so what are the codes in the computer?

your fuel lines may be getting to hot in some areas and creating vapor lock have some one look at it for u

Hello

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. In addition have a fuel pressure leakdown test run.

Plugged catalytic converter ?

If the transmission seems to be slipping, check the fluid level for the automatic transmission.

If the engine stalls on acceleration, the tps or throttle position sensor may be bad, or the engine is in need of a tune up.

mcdevito75 here, In an automatic transmission the clutch--es are built into the tranny itself, they operate automatically with the servos and fluid. ------ I get the feeling it"s not your tranny, rather something regarding the engine, possibly a dirty gas filter, weak fuel pmp. Have your local repair shop check it out. It"ll be cheaper than another tranny.

The acceleration may be an issue with the clutch or with engine.  If it is a manual tranny, you may have a worn out clutch.  For automatic, you may need to have the solenoid cleaned or have the tranny serviced
Other issue could be on the engine, check first the fuel filter especially if you encounter loss of power when running.  

check tranny fluid if its ok,tranny need rebuilt.sorry.

sound a tranny or clutch problem,manual or automatic ??if manual need clutch,if its automatic need tranny fluid or tranny itself,good luck

Greetings!

Yes, the engine mounts and bell housings are the same.
The swap should be straight forward, however be sure to swap all the vaccum controls and emission system from the 2.6L.

Have fun!
