pwmin Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Uhm, no. last time I checked, the throw out fork goes under those 2 nipples on the side of the throw out bearing. yeah, what he said. i was trying to get the pic out of my mind of my 284 t/o and trying to focus through the blur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 yea the end of the TO bearing, at least on the 284 has a bevel that it uses to seat within the pressure plate, have that face outwards, and slide the throwout fork into the nipples so when you bolt the engine /trans together all you have to do is snap it together.

stockgp Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 oh, and i was confuzzled because of the two notches in the fork. wtf are they for then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I think the bearing is reveresed, dont quote me on that, I just think it is. If you look on the fork, it has 2 a small raised area, that those hard edges of the bearing catch on. This is to stop the bearing outer part from spinning, and makeing the nipples in the wrong location. Oh yea, and grass and tranny parts, dont usually go together...

White93z34 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 here is a rough drwawing of how it fits at least on my 284, i'm not all that fluient with the 282. red = trans input shaft black = TO bearing green = Throwout fork, it fits into the bearing.

stockgp Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 well, from what i can tell, the fork can't fit "into" the bearing like in your drawing. i have pics if they turned out better this time it can sort of fit between two sets of "ears" on the front and back, though. and i think this is the only way the bearing can go, brian. the flat surface with the rust on it in the first pic spins. so it has to go against the pressure plate, right? and as far as the grass, my brother decided to trim the grass right next to where i was sitting. he's considerate like that. ok, well the pics suck. but you can kind of see what i mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 the 284 has a pull-type clutch which means the fork is pushed by the slave and pulls the t/o where the 282 has a tradition push-type so it wont look at all like white93's. i think you have it right now.

Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I asked a buddy of mine, and he and I both think the throw out bearing needs to be flipped over. How it is mounted in now, there is nothing that stops the bearing from spinning with the pressure plate, and the nipples wont be lined up with the fork itself. Am I making sense?

Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 also, the fork, when the bearing is in there, should just be 1/3 inch away from the back of the tranny, maybe a little more. Where its at now looks way off.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 yeah, dont listen to me as ive never done a 282, but i do know its a regular push-style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockgp Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 also, the fork, when the bearing is in there, should just be 1/3 inch away from the back of the tranny, maybe a little more. Where its at now looks way off.. that's just where i left it. the bearing goes as far down as the fork itself goes. like this: i tried flipping the bearing over. but, i can't even get the fork to slide between the ears that way. the way i have it now, the bearing goes as far into the tranny as it can. here is a pic of where the fork sits without the bearing: it goes that far with the bearing on, too. now, are you positive the bearing is not on right? in the next pic, the surface marked with a red x spins. if it's supposed to face the tranny and not the clutch, what would be the opint in it spinning at all? the surface marked with a blue x doesn't spin at all. if it's on the clutch fork, it has a range of movement of maybe a degree. see what you think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Ok, now that I see it mounted in a better position, you have it right. Like the pic above... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabz Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 The last pic is correct, the larger ears on the release bearing should be on the pressure plate side. I did this a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
