Getrag 282 Q4 with V6 housing

[Superdave]

yes, you'll need to swap over the rail if the Q4 trans is an internal slave version and your bellhousing is external slave.


it's pretty simple.

[Daguse5853Z]

Not to hijack but do you need to use a different shift rail for reverse or anything when using the Q4 with the V6 housing? I remember somebody said that somewhere b4. I assumed the rails never changed but I do know the round cover for the reverse rail on the outside of the case changed.

So the 88 and 92 mount up with either style mounts? (Beretta manual mounts changed in 92 to a different style, better for turbo/etc) The W body I think the the only exception.
Fiero 282 I think even works in the cars you listed Mars.

Maybe the changes are only on the bellhousing half of the trans (which I would be changed out)?

Yeah, but all of those trannies have been in my car.

Hmm, well maybe I am wrong then.

I've had in my car :

1992 GTZ beretta trans
1990 GTZ beretta trans
1988 Z24 trans
1991 Z24 trans (stock)
1992 Beretta V6 trans

They were all the same and all worked fine, till the diffs blew up that is.... (cept for the '90 GTZ one, that one's in there now.)

As far as the mouning bosses go, they are all the same, with the exception of if you have one of the cast alum. intermediate shaft housings, instead of a hanger bearing type intermediate shaft, in that case you'll need to drill and tap the holes in there, not a huge deal.

I distinctively remember Josh (TurboSedan) having posted on the W-body forums that he found a 282 that came out of another car line that did not have anywhere to attach the W-body 282 mount which bolts directly from the cradle to the trans case. No where to even drill for them.

edit: found his post

that was when everyone was convinced that V6 Ws had the 3.77 1st gear, so ignore the talk of better ratios etc.

idk about the mounting bosses being the same because i thought that and wen i bought a hm282 i assumed the case would be the same as a q4 because the q4 bolts right into my j-body but turns out the q4 case and the v6 case have atleast one diffranc idk wat bosses u need but i know the one i needed is only on the q4 case.

man, i wish i had known about the loctite flange sealant before.. i used the gray RTV stuff again and it's already dripping after a couple days.

[Mars]

The bellhousing swap is easy, you need a couple allen keys, and a 13mm socket and ratchet, then some LOCTITE flange sealant.

It doesn't take long at all and you can take advantage of the lower gearing.

The 1.03 4th gear is nice for racing.

If I were you, and if you beat your car up at times, get it for a spare anyways.

The slave obvioulsy don't matter cause you keep the V6 half of the trans. Only thing is you mught also have to swap VSS wheels. Again, not a big deal.

idk what im going to do then now.. it probably wont be worth the swap since its not in the same year range and such.. im still awaiting pictures and once i recieve them i will post them up..

[GutlessSupreme]

Not only would the bellhousing need to be swapped for a V6 one, but the case won't bolt into a W-body either. Only W-body Getrags have the mounting bosses to be mounted in W-bodies.

Not sure if the FDR would be 3.61 or 3.94, but the differential should be the newer design (beefier). Other than that, only 4th and 5th should be different, gear wise. 4th: 1.03 vs 0.94 in the '89, 5th: 0.81 vs 0.74 in the '89. Certainly wouldn't be helping out your highway mileage.

Wow, to each his own, but you won't catch me in any of those cars (unless I am gagged and tied up in the trunk).

There are several w-bodies in the video.

[Superdave]

we don't need RPM's to make power though, we have torque on our side.

[pocket-rocket]

I would love to have one that could! Man would that take the Honda boys by surprise! lol That would be one mean track eating machine Then again, Honda boys have managed to make their engines hit 20k rpms...
