TURBOLUMINA Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Local tranny shops have only been able to find bearing and seal kits. Any one know where i can find blockers and synchro kits? Quote
IRONDOG442 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Try Germany only place I know you can buy the synchros Quote
Andrew Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 i have always heard/been told that those trans have to be sent to getrag for rebuild. i dont know of anyone who has successfully rebuilt it themselves. Quote

Bake82 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 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. Quote
White93z34 Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 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! Quote
mra32 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 there is one on ebay. search. do it quick! Quote
Crazy K Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 I WILL be bidding on that! Document what is in it if you buy it!!!!! Quote
Bake82 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 It's CHEAP right now....but has reserve...bet he wants big $$.......Wonder if the parts would work inside a 282?? Quote
TURBOLUMINA Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Posted December 31, 2007 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! Quote
Bake82 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 For one, you'd need to figure out axles, clutch system, pedal set up. You'd need to make sure that everything will bolt up and in (tranny mount). Quote
TURBOLUMINA Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Posted December 31, 2007 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 Quote

TURBOLUMINA Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Posted December 31, 2007 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? Quote
ismellrealbad Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 nope i didnt do that its not my pic. i have no idea about the to bearing or input shaft Quote
gpchris Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 the 6speed has been done on a 3.4, You'll need custom everything though. I think the flywheel was the main problem, but theres still axels etc. Quote
Miko K Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Miko K defies logic and physics everyday though !!! I can even fly when I take my clothes off. Wanna see? 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. Quote
TURBOLUMINA Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Posted January 2, 2008 Care to elaborate? Who did it? And how do i find out how to contact them cause i would really like to do it. Quote
gpchris Posted January 2, 2008 Report Posted January 2, 2008 Archie on fiero.nl sells a kit for it but hes not telling how its done. Heres a few threads on it http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/059254.html http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/078656.html Quote
TURBOLUMINA Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Posted January 3, 2008 I AM SO GONNA SWAP A 6 SPEED IN MY NASTY TURBO Z34!!!! Thanks for the thread gpchirs! Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 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. Quote
gpchris Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 I AM SO GONNA SWAP A 6 SPEED IN MY NASTY TURBO Z34!!!! Thanks for the thread gpchirs! Sweet dude, keep me updated. This is a swap I've always wanted to do. I actually liked the gearing.. Quote
TURBOLUMINA Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Posted January 3, 2008 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! Quote
