Sorry I can only award you one positive rating.
Again, thanks for the excellent write-up.

This is great timing as I think I might have spotted an MY8 in an old junkyard (RPO sticker ripped out ugh! but it is a definite base model coupe), and have been wondering what to do about my high RPM speed on the highway, AND have to split the case anyway to install an input shaft seal! Great write up and if I do end up going this route I'll let you know how easy it was to follow with the pieces in my hand.

I know it calls for anaerobic sealant, but does anybody know why not RTV? I think I used that "RightStuff" to reassemble mine...
Hmmm..

so now that you have done all of this work, find me a car I can find another MY8 tranny from.

And this is a great write up. thumbs up to you.[This message has been edited by buddycraigg (edited 04-14-2012).]

Was the Fiero the only GM car of the era to receive the MY8, or did it also appear in some of the FWD models?

As far as I can tell, yes. Some other cars came with a 3.32 final but still had the 0.81 4th, which is better than nothing if you can't find an MY8, this writeup would still apply.

There is a local guy here that I'm pretty sure has one, and doesn't know what he has. I was trying to buy it from him but he dropped off of the face of the earth...I wanted to build myself a spare one. Shipped my first one from the east coast!

Here is what someone else wrote about this, sounds reasonable:
Aside from the fact that it sets up better than RTV-type sealants and is less prone to leaking, I like anaerobic sealant because any excess that is not clamped in the mating surface does not set up (hence the name), and remains oil-soluble. This means that no little globs form on the inside of the transmission, like when RTV-type sealants are used. Those little globs can potentially cause issues.

What makes it doubly hard is that Hollander based locator services like www.car-parts.com do not differentiate between the MY8 and the 4.10.
