Can I use a transmission out of a 2004 Malibu with a 3.1 engine in it to put in my 2008 Impala with a 3.5 engine?

Hello,

Those transmissions are different and not interchangeable.
For the most part Impalas from 2008-2011 uses the same transmission.

I have attached the replacement procedure below for your reference.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
