Getrag 282 transmission

The topic of available gear ratios has been widely debated due to the numerous applications of this transaxle.

According to the manual, the two versions were sold under 5 different part numbers based on body and engine usage.

[citation needed] The Getrag 282 used in Quad 4-equipped 1990 and 1991 Pontiac Grand Prix and Oldsmobile Cutlass Supremes is rumored to use a 3.77/2.19 1st/2nd gear while retaining the 3.61:1 final drive ratio.

[citation needed] An export-only version is confirmed to have been built for use in Oldsmobile Silhouette vans sold in the European market as the Pontiac Trans Sport.

[citation needed] Mixing of gearsets can be achieved due to the similarity between the various transmissions, but some gears must be interchanged in sets.
