they have a much better gear ratio then the 282 so i have herd, and a little stronger as well. if i put any 5 speed in my 96 it will be one of them. i have the 282 in the 88 and its ok but i would like longer 1st and 2nd gears.

The GM vin decoder site is down as well i dont know for how long, i went to check out a vin to get the gear ratio the other day for a suburban and the site is gone.. the compnine. suck cuz that was a very handy site.

And im pretty sure i read somewhere the z34 with a v6 5 speed is rare, something like 1,000 of them made. that could be per year 91-94 but im not positive on that. something like the beretta v6 manual are little more rare then the 4cylinder 5 speeds.

And im not sure what other car that trany comes in but the z34 is one of the very few. if the z34 was cheap enough and depending on the condition i would use it for a donor car for my beretta and throw in that trans.. :)

something is amiss! that rear bumper has been replaced with a used one if it is not just the photo playing coloring tricks.

Not just the rear bumper, the front bumper and grill too. It don't look too bad...

Makes you wonder if it was rear ended and pushed into another car at the same time and he had to replace both bumpers.

Was the z34 even offered in garnet?! I've never seen one. Could be weird paint fading on the plastic?

put some really heavy weight oil in the quad like straight 30 or heavier so it wont burn it and call him up tell him you got it fixed and it was a simple little seal or something minor lol

The hood won't fit. The hood vents can be cut to fit into the Beretta hood though.
