Here we go. What will it take to rebuild the mythical 284? Tools, tooling, nonexistent service parts. A couple of us have split the cases on these (including me) and it's a one-way trip even if you don't lose any parts. Manual transaxles have been dwindling in production for years as is the expertise at rebuilding them. Can 3D-printing, crowdfunding, or any other 2018 technologies make this feasible for the handful of us that still have them? What parts interchange from the 282 or from other transmissions?
