Manual transmission parts 5spd Getrag Muncie 282
Posted: Fri Feb 26, 2021 11:18 am
I split the case of a 5spd to redo the seal... Leaking bad, it can wait no longer! While I was in there, I wanted to replace as many seals as I could.
Where can we get:
Clutch fork bearings? (One needle-roller type each side of the shaft)
Main Input shaft bearing? (The one that’s pressed in, and in front of the $4 seal that we can still get)
The fiero and cavalier guys have replaced this side of the trans, the housing, just to get these, And this was read from a 2010 post so...
Where can we find beretta-compatible transmission half-housings that have a new bearing and seal pressed in already?
These are NOT what you see listed in rockauto or oreilly, and your local part stores despite the listing “input shaft bearing”. It is wrong. The trans input shaft bearing is a set of 1/4” dia by say 5/8” long rollers in a cage housing. We can also buy clutch forks...useless if they have no supportIng end bearings parts people!
On a contributive note, somewhere in the midst of the Rodney Dickman site, I discovered that (forgot name) a company bought some 400 of these 282 transmissions new when GM was done putting them in cars and have them on their shelves as NOS... Most without the bell housings to pair the car that they are going to, which DOES NOT SOLVE my bearing issue presented above. However, 0-mile transmissions for us all! Again, useless if the fluid leaks past this main seal!
At the time of this post, a 0-mile unicorn like this is on eBay for $400 SHIPPED. Beretta won’t do it. Try ‘282’ in the search. Heck, responding to my own post before I’m done, I’d email them and ask if they have any beretta housings.
I post this because I gave my bell housing to a local trans shop for a week and they cannot source these parts. They are considered UNOBTAINABLE. And if they can’t find them, then... which brings me here.
Anyone?
