5speed gearbox beretta and fiero the same

[bjornmk1]

like the title says,

I wonder if the transmission of a 3.1 beretta 88-92 will fit the fiero v6-2.8
1987.

cause I wanna know if the clutches they sell for the beretta 3.1 fit my fiero
5speed transmission ?

thank you,bjorn

The beretta transmission is the getrag 282. If yours is a getrag, it should fit. If yours is the izuzu, no go.

Your's being an 87 and V6, I'd say it's got the getrag, but I would double check to be sure. The getrag is the best transmission for FWD cars you can have. That's the prefered trans for high horsepower mods and v8/engine swaps.

[RedBird]

yeah, the FWD 'retta trans should work fine. you'll need to swap some stuff over, or buy the kit from rodney dickman, to use the FWD trans in the RWD fiero, i dont remember which.

[bjornmk1]

okay,how can I tell if it's a GETRAG ?

is there a way to identify it ?

thanx,bjorn

[IsaacHayes]

That I do not know. I could probably search and find out, or you could. There is probably a metal tag on the transmission, write down the #'s and such and search on google and see what comes up..

[RedBird]

here's a pic, you can kinda see. You get the general shape, and you can just see the end cover. it's steel, almost flat, and has 9?(i think) bolts.

[bjornmk1]

okay,

it's 5 speed getrag that's for sure now.

so now I can shop for a clutch from example a beretta,fiero,grand prix.

thanx guys.Bjorn

this is an internally balanced 2.8 right? then yeah, you should be able to use the clutch/flywheel from any V6 J/L/N body..... a LOT of people over on V6Z24, myself included, are going with the Stage 3 EZClutch off ebay..... i dont have mine yet but i haven't heard any bad reviews....everyone seems to have really good luck.

[bjornmk1]

well,

actually mine is externally balanced.
but i don't see why i can't use those clutches ?

am i missing something ??

[bjornmk1]

gripforce=xtr ??

well guys,

after searching ebay for a clutch that can handle my mods..
I found that "xtr"sells the same clutch as gripforce

shitty stuff ??

what's in a brands name right !

the funny thing is that tranny is a NVG


looks the same as a Muncie though.

I looked up your flywheel and the part numbers are different than the one for the J/L body. The mounting for the pressure plate and disk may be the same but i wouldn't take that risk.

If your engine was internally balanced like the FWD versions you could just use the FWD flywheel and clutch.


Time for an engine swap?

[bjornmk1]

I can check if the mounting is the same cause
I've got a 3.1 flywheel also here from a 91 corsica.

apart from that it's only the number of splines on the shaft that's of interest
right ?

[bjornmk1]

just got a good deal on an ebay best offer deal.
i bought the ez clutch stage 3 for 186$.

they say it should not chatter(or only minimal) and hold up to 400hp !
that should minimally hold torque numbers of up to 350-400 i guess.

[Superdave]

good choice, i've never had a problem with my stage 3 EZ. it held my built 3400 w/o problems and i have it on my 3500 now...

there is some chatter and it's pretty on/off feeling but you'll like it.. lol

[bjornmk1]

hey superdave...

got my clutch today and it looks okay.
it fits the getrag just fine.

only thing I noticed was that the disc is a fair bit smaller than the pressureplate surface..hmm strange.

it seems unlogicall to not use the full area.

was yours like this too ?
