    My girl friend has a 1999 Saturn SL1 and the transmission is starting to go,
    it bangs into reverse and sometimes it doesn't shift.

    Now I have a 1992 Saturn SL2, would that transmission fit into her car?

    If it is a manual transmission, the answer is a qualified yes. DOHC (your
    SL2) manual transmissions are geared differently than SOHC (her SL1)
    transmissions. While it will bolt up and operate, the DOHC trans is geard a
    bit more toward performance/acceleration and the SOHC won't likely get as
    good of mileage with it.

    If it is an automatic transmission - interchangeability isn't as easy. The
    trans itself has electronics in it which aren't compatible among all years.
    I do not know anything more specific.

    The "slam" statement kinda hints at automatic.

    Refer to the recent post with the thread "Transmission Shifts Hard -
    Vavle Body?" Read that thread to get an idea of what you will probably
    need to do.

    There appears to be some changes between the 91-92 and 93-up TAAT
    transmissions so there wont be nothing worth robbing off of the 92.
