i am looking for a manual trans so i can do a t5 or t56 swap into a camaro.

so far, i havent found any reasonably priced gm t5 transmissions or t56 transmissions, but have seen a great many fox-body t5's and vipere t56's.

i realize that the viper t56 has a few differences than the camaro t56, but what are the differences between the fox-body t5 and the camaro t5, and can i simply change the bellhousing and flywheel and turn a fox-body t5 into a camaro compatible t5?

The Ford and GM T5 look the same and the only differance is the input shaft.The GM T5 has more splines than the Ford T5.

Get a clutch kit for a Mustang or you can modify it to fit it to a GM.
