OK guys, took the transmission to the shop this week...Said I need a reverse shaft rail guide, which supposedly GM doesnt make anymore. It is a getrag 282..... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Register on v6z24.com [cavalier board]. I know a lot of manuals and a few are parting out their cars. I'm sure you could find it there.
I mentioned to John the last time we spoke that older j-bodies are a great source for 282 parts. I would just try to find a j-body with a 282 and you can use it for parts. You can actually use the whole tranny, but you need to use the w-body extension shaft. Glad to hear you finally got it home...keep us updated. :)
I can't sign in, waiting on my acct to be activated for about 6hrs now....
i have a Getrag 282 for parts. it came from a '90 Grand Prix. can you get a pic of what you need?
OMG YOU MIGHT BE MY SAVIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will look online and see if I can't get a pic.
if i can get the "reverse shaft rail guide" out without special tools, and the part is in good shape, i will send it to you for the cost of shipping.
i've been meaning to take this thing apart anyways :)
EDIT: keep in mind it's iffy - the Getrag is blown. here is a pic of the carnage:
