  • Free: Getrag 284 (for parts) and LQ1 block (good)

    I have the original Getrag 284 from my 1991 Grand Prix. It has roughly 120,000 miles on it. I replaced it with a spare that I had when I did the LX9 engine swap. I’m cleaning house and this thing has to go.

    For parts only. Here are the issues:
    -worn 1st gear synchro. If you’re not at a complete it tends to fight to engage 1st
    -2nd gear synchro slightly worn. Still shifts ok but you can tell its not perfect.
    -when in 4th gear, the shifter tends to move back and forth a bit, maybe bent shift fork?
    -worked and drove until the day I removed it

    So, obviously not something you want to put in a car. But if you want it for parts, teardown practice, or for a giant paper weight you can have it. You’d have to come get it in southern Connecticut.

    Also have a good, bare, 3.4 dohc block. Free to anyone who wants to take it.


    I can deliver for $0.50 per mile, up to 75 mile radius from house.

      I'm tempted, but when my 284 gives up the ghost I think I'm moving to a F40.

          Ok guys, it seems like two of you are interested.... I'm about 15 minutes north of New Haven.

          19Cutlass94 was first to reply so he has dibbs --- if I have to bring it to you let me know where you are (you can PM) and I'll figure out the cost. If you're not seriously interested thats ok too, just reply here.

          Dave96z34, your #2 in line. If 19Cutlass94 doesn't want it or I'm too far then its all yours. Same deal, if I have to bring it to you, you'd just need to pay my costs at a rate of $0.50/mile.

            Carbon canister and purge valve mod, place in large 30 Gallon can, cover, and place curbside, the city will do the rest.
            PCV valve and vent tube, reroute to exhaust to dump where it belongs, on the ground. Or add breathers and let it all free.

                I'm glad you have a use for it, much better than my other consideration of throwing it in the dumpster! It was great to have met you and definetly let me know when that s/c is back on the LQ1, I'd like to come see it in action.
