Question z24 Tranny

i just bought a 97 z24, and 15 days after i bought it blew the tranny, now as far as transmissions go, whats the deal? i have heard that the stock transmissions in the z's are Getrags, is that true? because my buddy has a Getrag tranny for sale, and i was just wondering if is stock or not...

thank you very much... but...Ok, so... are the getrag trannys good? i was with my friend when he bought it, it came out of a 98 sunfire GT. My friend bought it and never used it, it just sits in his garage, he wants $400 for it. Now i know thats a steal of a price, cause i priced other used transmissions and the lowest i found was $1000 ,but im basically just wondering if a getrag would be better than an isuzu ( now that i know thats what was in my car).

And as it stands right now, i DO get my car back with in a few days with a used transmission in it, but looking down the road, i have a feeling that this used transmission that is goin in my car, and, well knowing my luck, i'll blow it too.. so is a getrag out of a 98 sunfire GT for $400 worth purchasing?

Yes getrag's have been known to be a bit more reliable one of the reasons why GM switched to them. But if its never been used Isuzu, i would grab that in a heart beat for 400 bucks.
