Getrag 282 rebuild kit

[3X00-Modified]

My PN was in response to Z26_T's question about the detent cover, not the bearing.

This is another reason why I don't want a 5-speed... You can't even buy a rebuild kit for them anymore

It's really quite annoying, I do like the 5 speed though really hoping someone can shed light on a replacement

Some interesting and helpful Getrag info.

Once you get past the Fiero conversion stuff, it is very insightful and interesting.

14092066 is the bearing for the other end of the input shaft on the wheel well side of the case. I wanted a new one for the bellhousing side where it is also the oil seal. That's the main reason I did the whole rebuild on mine...bellhousing was oily only a couple years after initial assembly in 09.

Is that a bearing you NEED to replace or does it seem ok?

My goal was to have every bearing/synco/seal be new in the transmission, it really doesn't seem like this is going to be possible. I will just have to compromise, get the trans split find out what is worn and see about getting just that replaced.

It is another sad reality of our cars not having this available

As I've said in the past, I would love to see some of these hot rod restoration shows try to restore one of our cars... I get tired of seeing them restore something they can just open a catalog and order parts for and have them in 3 days. Welcome to the joys of trying to rebuild something that is just a lost soul.

Oh don't get me wrong I do enjoy the challenge these cars present. It just is sad to see all the 80s and 90s classics dying. It will be interesting to see if anything other than mustangs and Camaros become catalog cars.

Several years ago, I worked at a restoration parts store... GTOs (and the Le Mans), Monte Carlos, Camaros (of course), Chevelles (also of course), Chev & GMC trucks, Firebirds (oh so different from Camaros ) were all 'catalog cars', and we were actually both the local distributor for OPG (Original Parts Group -A-Body cars) and Classic Industries (all the other GM models), and the manufacturer of a lot of the patch-panels that those catalogs sold (Parts Duplicators). Interesting to see the parts you made and warehoused resold in the very catalogs you ordered from. The owner sold-out shortly after I quit, and I have no idea what happened to the company after that.

Sadly though, our Berettas will likely never be considered 'Classics' in that regard. Maybe that is okay though -it makes those of us who know them to be what they are and appreciate them for that a little different and maybe a little closer as a community -have you ever gone to a Camaro club website? No thanks, I haven't found a good one yet.

I know the Isuzu trannies are not as tough, but the one in my '97 Z-24 turbo has handled a lot of hard use (not really abuse though), with a lot more power and a bit more torque than a stock 3.1 puts out, and has been doing just fine for years now. If your Muncie is beyond help, I would recommend considering sourcing one of those (I am speaking in general, not just to themixer). The Isuzus are a lot easier to find, and should mount into our cars fine, depending on sourced application, since they actually came together from the factory. Just a thought...
