No it's probably there, I'm not familiar with all the threads there, so those were just suggestions that came to my mind.

You can get the GM service manual for the Getrag 282 from the FieroNews website. It contains all the info you need for a complete tear-down and rebuild.

I am ready to re-assemble the two Getrag transaxle halves back together.

Can anyone remind me which way the Roller (needle) Bearing, in the center of the front case half, is place in the machined cavity for that bearing?
The two black plastic cage sides are different.

Which side of the bearing is up, and which side of the bearing is set downward inside the bearing cavity?

I am pretty sure the side with the smaller diameter of the black plastic cage goes down in the case, but it's been a little while since I took it apart, and I want to make sure I am right on this.

Thanks for the help.

Bump, I am curious about hdryder's question above as well.

Per the rebuild manual, the smaller ID of the black cage should be towards the clutch housing (as shown in the pictures after the case is split in the original post).

The sealant used to hold the detent cover back in? So it doesn't pop off.. What's the best?

Window urethane sealant?

Sorry for the late reply, but the detent cover is held in place by friction. The sealant only needs to prevent leaks; it doesn't need to hold the cover in place. So RTV silicone should be fine.

On my Getrag, I used RTV silicone for the case halves and the detent cover. I used black for the case halves. I ran out of the black stuff, so used gray for the detent cover. That was about 6 years ago, and it hasn't leaked a drop. Just FYI.
