Guest TurboSedan Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 here is the good '89 282 in my garage that i just got from Justin last week: here is the '90 282 that was in my car until last September: it was fine and then one day while driving at a steady 30mph in 3rd it started making horrible noises. the fluid was great until then and i always used GM Syncromesh in it. within a couple miles i was losing gears one by one and the horrible metal-to-metal grinding noises were getting louder and louder. the fluid turned black very quickly. so uh....what happened to it? joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Take it to a trans shop and have them take it apart for kicks,or take it apart urself. -Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god910 Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Davis what did you pay for the flywheel if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromColorado Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 because the gears are all helical cut they load to one direction or the other, and under "too much stress" for the transmission it will overload the side bearings, eventually breaking out of the cups that they stay in, I'd guess that it's not a faulty trans, but rather too much power put thru it, for too long. --Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 dam how much power can a 210,000 mile stock 3.1 have?!?!? i did do some street racing, not alot but some. i never power shifted, never spun the wheels around corners, never dumped the clutch. however, to be honest there were a few times when i did mad burnouts from the stoplight on smooth pavement...only a few times tho not alot. the transmission had about 210,000 miles on it also, but was rebuilt once during its lifetime before i got it. the '88 Getrag 282 that replaced the '90 only has about 115,000 miles right now - hopefully it has alot of life left. and if that one goes out i still have the '89 Getrag 282 as a back-up. joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god910 Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 If I ever break this 282 I'm gonna get some gears made for it. Sure they'll be loud, but it's not a biggie, weekend warrior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TurboSedan Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 hmmm that's wierd, it works for me. try this one i guess: http://www.fwdperformance.com/Store/Product.asp?IDCatalog=61&ProductID=239 description: "Heavy duty Chrome-Moly bearing support plate. The factory plate is mild steel which can deform, causing the input shaft bearing to lose it's preload and spread the gearset apart causing major destruction. Fits a465/a525/a520 ans a555 transmissions." joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
