Baddflash Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Just wanted to check with you guys what would be a fair price for a 282 from a '90 GP w/ 165,000 kms. If I pull it myself I can get it for $80 but there yard is a soup bowl right now so for $50 they're pulling it for me. So does $130 sound fair for said tranny? How much for a basic clutch compared to the top end one? I might install the 3.1L/5M first to work out any issues from the tranny swap, before the 3100 turbo swap. Lastly any recommended upgrades to help it withstand 300+ HP. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Umm, if it's just the trans that is a really good price if it is in good shape. The 282 is put behind fieros and can hold what a 350 puts out so I wouldnt worry. -Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddflash Posted April 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 im doing a 3.1 turbo 5-speed swap and its not a cheap project That's why I'm thinking the 3.1 will end up going in first. I figure it'll cost $3000 or so to do up the 3100, at least it only cost me $50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 So does $130 sound fair for said tranny? heck yeah it sounds like a great deal. the 110,000 mile '88 282 in my car cost me $160, but it needed a $115 TO bearing fork and a bearing for said fork that cost another $55, and another $35 in labor to install it. my '90 282....that's a different story. i paid $900 shipped for a rebuilt Crane cammed 3.1/Getrag 282 combo with new clutch and it all included *everything* needed to swap it in. the 3.1 had a rod knock from the get-go and lasted 500 miles. the 282 lasted almost 50,000 miles before it blew up. worst money i ever spent. i feel really stupid even mentioning here it but it's true. on the bright side, i learned a helluva lot about my car. oh well i try not to think about it too much. my '89 282 - free joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaroonRegal Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 From what I've heard, that's a great price. The 282 can withstand 350 horsepower in a fiero, which is lighter, and doesn't have wheels that turn on that axle. I've heard they're very build-up-able, though.

phantomshado Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Any transmission can handle anything, with enough work and money... I think I have the new slogan for this board: W-Bodies: Kick Ass Performance at a Cost, a good car nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
