hey
i have a 1998 cavalier Z24 with 2.4 engine isuzu 5 speed tranny, i blew my tranny a few months ago. Iam plaing on swaping it out to a getrag soon. i was looking for some info a few months ago, iam still lookinf to confirm what i was told. I will post what i have so far
dose this sound right?
(this is a note i wrote to remind myself what i need)
i need
tranny, getrag, used
axles, getrag, used
shifter, getrag, used
shift cables and all other parts of the assembly, getrag, used
bracket on the tranny that holds the shifter cables, from a 2.4 00-02 getrag
tranny, used
CLIPS THAT HOLD THE SHIFTER CABLES DOWN to the
bracket on the tranny, from getrag, used
flywheel from a 2.4 00-02 getrag tranny, used
flywheel bolts, from a 2.4 00-02 getrag tranny, used
pressure plate, getrag, used or new, (i will prob go new)
pressure plate bolts, from a 2.4 00-02 getrag tranny, used
clutch disk, for a getrag, used or new (i will prob go new)
throw out bearing, for a getrag, used or new (might come with my new clutch, so maybe go new)
clutch master cylinder and lines/hoses, getrag, used
Rear tranny mount bracket, getrag, GM, new
tranny mounts, getrag, prob used
*MAKE SURE THEY GIVE YOU ALL THE BOLTS FROM THE BELL HOUSING AND THE PRESSURE PLATE TO FLYWHEEL, AND GIVE YOU THE CLIPS THAT HOLD THE SHIFTER CABLES DOWN, AND THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER TOGETHER WITH THE THROW OUT BEARING.
If you don't have these clips when you push the clutch pedal it WILL pop out of the bearing and you won't have pedal.
Speed sensors are different and you get a new one on the tranny, just tell them to leave the pig tails for the revers tail lights and VSS pig tail in there and just splice them in.
what do you mean by "SHAVING the braket a little to clear the Getrag,
Shaving I mean, just cutting a little off the edge.
If you take the driver wheel off and looking at the bracket, you need to
shave on the bottom right and the hole needs to go about 4 inches to the
left.
so a hole for the front has to be drilled 4 inchs left (to the front of the car) then the getrag mount bolts up to that right, and cut back a bit so the getrag will clear it
Yes when you DO drill a new hole the tranny mounts WILL just bolt right on,
but you still have to WELD a new REAR one.
Well see I am running Automatic center console which is cut on the side so I
can shift, but I am thinking the Gerag gears are a little wider.
