It could but I dought it is that dirty. It would most likely slip. Old transmissions use to have a modulator valve that told it when to shift. Now its done electronically through the computer . Look closely for any wires going to the tranny and check them for loose connections,corrosion,etc Answer The modulator valve used in some transmissions is operated by vaccuum so a vaccuum leak may also be the culprit. Another possibility may be the TV (throttle valve) sticking, or being bent inside the transmission. Your transmission is electronically controlled and is either a 4t60E or 440 T4 (Cadillac was transitioning from the latter to the former during the 1990 model year. From what I understand the 440 t4 was more prone to TV cable problems due to a difference in design with the superior 4t60E.

What would you need to do to put a manual transmission in your 2002 Cadillac deville and what manual transmission would fit?

First off you will need lots of money. Going from an A/T to a manual requires many parts and much modifications unless you can find a donor car to remove parts from. As there was no 2002 Cadillac Deville built with a manual transmission, you will have to fabricate parts and modify others. This would be a daunting task.

On my 91 sedan deville it is at the bottom of the firewall on the passenger side. About where the passengers feet would be. Take the R. F.
