quad 4 tranny is a different bellhousing, it will not work.

what you are going to need to find is a 282 from a 3.1l is a w-body. the way the trans mounts in the w-body is different from smaller gm fwd cars. aside from that, you need the pedal assmembly from a w-body as well as the console and axles, and anything else (clutch, flywheel, shifter cables ect) can come from any gm fwd with a getrag 282.

oki ... tanks .... but can y put a manuelle tranny from a J-body...like a sunbird 3.1??and it is hard to fit the trans mount???because I dont know whats w-body have a manual tranny

[sharkey]

im not sure what you would do for mounts. i beleive the w-body has the mounts on the side of the case and they go to the subframe. i know the j-doy uses a top mount that goes to the unibody, and they dont have the mount bosses on the case.

'88-'90 Grand Prix or Cutlass Supreme has the Getrag 282 5-speed. you could probably have a W-body Getrag 282 rebuilt using gears from an L/J/N-body 282 but you definately need to use a W-body 282 case in your Z34 as others have mentioned.
