Somebody set me straight! Whats the difference in the 282's,284's and nv 550. How do you tell them apart? THANKS!
282 and NVG are interchangable for the most part. Any 282 or NVG will fit pre 92 berettas. Only certain NVG will fit 92/93 beretta. Internally they are different. It is unsure weather all parts swap over or not. Weba from finland is going to swap getrag internals into a NVG case to use newer style mounts. We will see if it is possible then. It comes in the gm metric pattern (2.2 OHV, 2.8/3.1/3.4/ every other 60v6) and also the quad/2.4 pattern. The getrag generally has an external slave while the NVG has an internal. Its possible that 92 quad getrag got internal.
The 284 is a stronger version of the 282. Only came behind the 3.4 DOHC but will bolt to a beretta engine. Its supposedly stronger, but thats only a rumor. I havent seen any testing done.
The 282/nvg is a notchy beast. It seems to hold up to incredible abuse once its in geat, but a bad shift on a high power car/high traction situation could bend forks and jam gears.
The weakest part of the 282 is the diff. However, the NVG diff is much tougher and is a direct swap I beleive.
