pshojo Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I'm assuming the cavalier 3.1 5 speed transmissions won't work in w body. Found one this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 it's a 282..... while you could adapt it to work, it's going to be a lot more work than a native W-body 282. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshojo Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 There is a regeatta in the yard, i think someone used the oil filter adaptor from one of these to fit a manual swap on 3800? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 i believe that's the one Kuntzie used for his 2G GP... may want to confirm that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 88-90 = 282Â 91-94 = 284 Â last year of the 284 was 1993 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshojo Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I found 282 trans with everything (clutch system, mounts, brackets, pedals, cables, shifters) $500. Now, trying to figure out to run it on the 3.4 DOHC or L26. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 What you mean how to run it on there? get a clutch, flywheel and bolt everything right up. Then tune for it in the computer. Probably need a custom intermediate shaft bracket though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshojo Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 i have two cars, one that is DOHC and one that i'm doing L26 swap. Which engine would you put the 282 with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bake82 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 L26 need to worry about oil filter adapter and intermediate shaft bracket. 3.4 need to do intermediate shaft bracket. I vote 3.4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshojo Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I found the 282 with all parts for the swap. I pick it up on this weekend. I also found a Reatta in the yard a couple hours away. I'll pick up the oil filter adaptor also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pshojo Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 I picked up the transmission today. Long drive up to Racine and back. But i think i have all the parts for the trans mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penglii Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Oh man, Quad Cities to Racine and back IS a long drive! Congrats on getting all the parts you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshojo Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Not too bad of a drive. but worth it to get the stuff. I had a previous connection to someone here that had what I needed previously. Lesson to self, when sending pay pal, i now email to confirm they got it.

pshojo Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Bump? I was reading here about how the v6 cavalier and V6 wbody 282 were different, and would take more to adapt this. How much work would it be? What would it take? Â I was also told the 2000 cavalier 4 cylinder cars had same bolt pattern as our v6 engines and could be used by Milzy. Any word on this??

RobertISaar Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 sounds like you're referring to the F23..... i don't know if i would trust that in a W, especially with a torquey engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshojo Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) not a very strong trans then i take it? Â Also, there are a couple 92 282 cavaliers here with 3.1, thinking this is a stronger trans, wondering how much work it take to use this trans versus 89 282 trans?

RobertISaar Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 well, it was used on a 2.2 cavalier..... it wasn't in any way required to be built to any significant specification, a vehicle that weighs 1000lbs more and doubles the torque output? i could see it tearing it up in no time. Â however..... GM could have had it overbuilt(i want to say it is a getrag), i really wouldn't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshojo Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 That could be fun engine swap, 3800 in cavalier with 282 factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianG Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Anyone besides GtpKo have that pdf factory manual on the 282 they could send to me? Shoot me a PM if you have it please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
