Lol come buy my z24 have a 3500 and spare 282. I have a q4 intermediate shaft ide throw in thebox with the shifter but ide need to getsome $ for that. Text or call me 860-680-9958

I swapped a 282 into my 98z24 not a grand am. I'm 100% sure 5 speed 2.4 grand am axles will work in your 282 swap as long as the motor is mounted in a factory location. I my stock cavalier axles because I couldn't find a v6 intermediate shaft. I have a quad4 internediate shaft that will fit in the trans (for sure) but wouldn't mount to block (I was told, never checked) I don't have torque steer issues but it is said to be the downside to uneven axles.

I'm 100% sure they won't. I found that out the hard way.

Ugh really so you were doin this swap on a 5th gen grand am? why wouldn't it work to short to long?

I am doing it on an alero, and using the 282 mounted to a stock motor utilizing the stock passenger mount and custom mounts elsewhere, the 5 speed grand am/ alero axles don't work, one was too short, one was too long. I am utilizing a fiero outer axle, mated to a 282 cavalier inner on one side, and an alero outer with a 282 cavalier inner on the other side.

well i finally found a jackshaft so that will make this alittle simpler. i mated the trans to my motor and lowered it down to see if i needed anything removed. the driver side tranny mount needs to be cut off, once thats out, just need to make the new mounts.

Already have the clutch pedal in? and the hole drilled for the master cylinder? I found it easier to take the dash out to get the clutch pedal in, then you also have access to all of the wiring in case you are inclined to add a neutral safety switch, backup lamp, etc.......

[ga2001532]

Idk if I want to take the dash out I will if I have to but am pretty small I hope I can just do it with out takin it out. Drilling the hole might not be easy

Sorry to post misinformation
I only found out about splines not length on the axles.
