Does a Trans Am have a positive traction differential?
Some do and some don't. The quickest way to tell if you even have a Limited Slip or Posi-Trac is to jack both rear tires off the ground at the same time. Then try to rotate one side in one direction or the other. If you have a LS the other tire will follow along but maybe a little slow or not respond to your movements real quick. That depends on how tight the clutch pack is. If you have an open diff then the other tire will rotate in the opposite direction.
I can say this with absolute certainty, every single T/A from 69-81 was equipped with a Posi...No matter whether it had high or low gears in it. Once GM took over in 82 and the T/A was more Chevy than Pontiac I can't say.

What is the correct spark plug gap for a 1995 Pontiac Trans Am?
According to Chiltons Camaro/Firebird 1993-98 Repair Manual the correct gap for the 5.7L LT1 should be .035 and for the 3.4L it's .045 but I would double check Chiltons because I've seen a gap of .050 for the LT1 all over the web?? Maybe the .050 is the wrong gap??

How do you change a door panel in a 1998 Pontiac Trans Am?
Tools you will need
Small flathead screwdriver (Or something to pry with)
Small piece of soft cloth
Long Phillips Screwdriver
Might need a Long flathead screwdriver as well.
1. pop out and unplug the window, lock, and mirror control buttons before the panel comes out. All the switches are attached to a small panel that is held into the door panel with some little pressure snaps. Just get something flat under the switch panel (Something that is not going to scratch your plastic that is sturdy enough to pry with. I use a flathead screwdriver with a soft cloth underneath it so it doesn't scratch the plastic) and pry them out, they should pop right up
2. Take plastic piece off of the lock. (The little piece that slides back and forth with the red on it to indicate locked or unlocked). Pull piece away from door panel and wiggle out.
3. The tough part that is not really tough at all. The trick is finding all the screws before you pull the panel off. Car manufacturers like to hide the screw holes under the door handles, in the door pockets, and anywhere else on the door panel that is out of immediate site. There is 4 or 5 screws on my 95. All in all it took me about 10 minutes to take the door panel off the first time before I knew where all the screws were hidden.
4. Lift the door panel upward when removing it. If the door panel seems like it is not wanting to lift off then stop and find where the other screws are at. The guy that owned my car before me just ripped and there were still screws in resulting in a cracked door panel.
Good Luck!
