GutlessSupreme Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 ...does a 4 banger '91 cavi 5 speed have? Not 282? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromColorado Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 I think they were using a crappy Isuzu trans in there - I had 5 in my old sunbird with the 2.2 OHC (mantapart brazillian engine to replace the 2.0) the only thing different between the 2.2 OHV (pushrod) and the 2.0 OHC was the starter placement - I learned very quickly how to transplant transmission parts from one case to the other - I was VERY destructive to that poor car. --Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveFromColorado Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 no problem, not really worth it to run those trani's anyhow, they are very disposable, altho if you get a cavalier Z24 (3.1) 5-speed, they beefed up the internal bearings, and they should* hold better in the W-bodies, but I'm not sure if actual trans mount to the car is the same, or even similar for that mattter. --Dave.

Guest TurboSedan Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 i thought ALL GM 60* V6 cars with a 5-speed had a Getrag 282? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBULS Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 They did...............except apparantly some VERY early V6 Cavaliers that had a heavy duty Isuzu (and I've only been "told" this.......not seen any actual proof). But all 87+ J, L and W body V6 mauals had the HM-282 (J and L bodies got one gearset, W's another). Fieros also got the 282...........with the same gearing as the J and L body cars.

DaveFromColorado Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 BigBuls is partially right, they did use the 282's in SOME of the J-bodies, but almost every 4-banger I've run into has had the isuzu trans in it. The two V6 J-bodies I've pulled manual tran's out of had beefed up Isuzu transmissions. --Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
