Is there a FWD 5 or 6 spd manual?

[Barry]

lol.. either way the 282 has a ton more options then the 284. atleast we can agree on that

Yup, that about sums it up.

Pretty sure the T550 has an internal slave... http://www.bstuff.com/index.php?showtopic=56507
Barry did a lil research

in '92 the NVGT550 had an external slave, they went to internal in 93 and 94 (atleast in the Jbodies)


93 and 94 HM282 Quad 4 trannies had the internal slave too... not sure about the 92's though.

[Imminent34]

is there a benefit either way of an external slave or internal? is this the same thing respectively as bracket or bellhousing mounted? Sorry I am new to tranny-speak. I tried to rebuild my 4spd auto and I felt like a watch-maker...

the 92' NVGT550, it had the updated trans mounts right?

Updated?


there are only slight differences in the case between the HM282 and the NVGT550, one being the lack of threadded holes for the '88 style jackshaft tube, the 93-94's had a 1/2" longer reverse rail which changed the bellhousing a little and of course the change from external to internal slaves.


any mount bracketry would be from the car it came out of, it's probably slightly different between the Beretta and Cavalier in certain years. I know the '93 W41 tranny i have came with some weird brackets on it.

The bracket on my 90' 282 sits up very high, almost high enough to touch my ABS system, so it kind of ruined the turbo kit that I made for my auto that I planned on using. I've been told the 92+ mounts sit lower on the body, not up high like mine currently does.

[Superdave]

got any pics?

[Z26-T]

Anyway to add pics on here besides me creating a photobucket account? Guess I could add them to my myspace and send you there

The mount that's in the way

Actually there are many differences in the casings, i found out the hard way. Any nvg out of a quad grand am, or quad/v6 beretta will have the mounting bosses for the 92 and up mounts that I talk about in my transmission discussion thread.

Some random 282's got these bosses also, I do not know why.

Im still developing that thread. I have pics of these bosses and the actual mounts.

Keep in mind, these mounts ONLY apply to 92 and up berettas and 5-speed quad grand ams.

It makes NO affect on a J body, because they use mounts attatched to the bellhousing.

As for those intermediate shaft holes, some trannies had them, some had them but they werent tapped, and some just had the bosses. Not a big deal, most dont use the shaft with the housing, but its not hard to drill/tap the holes if you need to.

[Superdave]

The mount that's in the way

aah, that's the same one all the Jbodies use...

[Z26-T]

Yeah, that's the mount that I'm hoping the 92+ style will get rid of...

Barry, in the first pic you can see the bracket for the slave cylinder . Tried to post it on your write up, but it wouldnt upload. Feel free to steal the pic if you need it for the write up.

[Barry]

Will do, thanks man.

Yes, that is the older beretta mount. If you looked at my project z26 thread you will see the newer style mount. It is much better for a turbo obviously. Plus you can still use your lower dogbone, so you will actually have 3 tranny mounts(thats what im gonna do)

You can get the frame mounts from ANY 92+ 5-speed beretta, 2.2l included. The grand am 5-speed mounts are also the same. However, the actual tranny mount(the one with rubber in it) needs to be specific to the trans your going to use. The izuzu mount looks identical, but the spacing is wrong( I also learned that the hard way.. ahah)
