Rebuild kit for getrag 5 speed??


TURBOLUMINA

Recommended Posts

Didnt Miko K rebuild his?

 

Turbo luminaz has the Getrag 284. Miko K and a few others have rebuilt 282's, but the 284 which was put behind the 3.4 DOHCs have to be sent to Getrag directly to be rebuilt.

I'd sure love to find such parts! I have yet to, hell even Jasper cannot offer reman Getrag 284s, ALSO GM no longer has the exchange program for the 284!

So i have a project for someone who has more time than me.......I recently saw a 6 speed trans from a G6 on the internet for sale.....The bell housing looks fairly close to what works on the 2.8-3.8 gm V6. Should we be trying to figure out if this trans will bolt to our engines, and what will it take to make it work? Especially because that transmission is readily available for $400 bucks. And we get another gear! :biggrin:

not worried about modifying subframes, thats cake work. Just a wire feed welder and some steel fixes that. the most important part is, is the bellhousing pattern the same, and is the input shaft long enough to reach the flywheel. I can have axles made

have you physically bolted it up? And make the measurements to see if input shaft is correct length? Also what type of clutch does it use, is it pull or push style throwout bearing?

Miko K defies logic and physics everyday though !!!

 

I can even fly when I take my clothes off. Wanna see? :willynilly:

 

I only replaced all the bearings and seals and converted the clutch fork to ball bearings, since the needle bearings destroyed it. The rest looked good, so I didn't bother.

From what? a G6 6speed tranny? I would leave the getrag 5spd in. Weighs less and better gear ratios. The 6th gear in those tranny's are worthless. Its like overdrive on steriods it drops the RPMs wayyy to much.

The 6 speed weighs more cause its stronger. And the gearing isnt terribly far off. The point of 6th is strickly highway gas mileage. 1st is USELESS in my car any ways cause once the turbo spools, i instantly hit the 7500 rpm fuel cut, then i spin all the way through second. So im sure the same will happen with the new trans. Besides, im SOOOOOOO sick of my getrag cause you cant get shit for it. IM tired of sourcing transmissions that last 2 months then start grinding like the last one! :cussing:
