will a t5 fit a 4th gen?

would it fit? and what will i need to put it on an lt1 w/ auto?

thanks

going w/ a t5 would be a bad choice. a t5 isn't strong enough to take the tourque output of a 350 cid or higher. that's why in the 3rd-gens the 350tpi only came as an auto. but if you want to swap to a manual trans w/ an lt1, go for the t56 6-speed. you can find it on another 4th gen. i recommend getting it off of a wrecked one. as for what to do, the t-56 is the same length as the 4-speed auto i believe, so the only things i see having to do will be cutting a whole for the shifter to come through the floorboard, changing the center console to accomondate a stick, and then some computer work (not sure what has to be done, i have know idea when it comes to computers in cars)

yeah, the T5 is a downgrade, you want the T56 if possible. not sure about the swap, but should be pretty easy seeing as they were stock in that car.

I don't think that the T5 is a bad choice personaly, it my be a down grade from a T56, but still not a bad tranny. My monster 305 was bolted to a T5, and now the 383. It's a strong tranny and will not give you a problem so long as your clutch can handle the torque. You'll have to get a stage 2 or 3 clutch. My 305 had better than 400hp and my 383 has better than 500 and I've had no problems what so ever. The T56 just has an extra overdrive gear, from what I understand is for 80mph and over. But in any event there both good trannys.

the t5 came with a 6, not an 8, thats why i was asking. also, if its from an 85 is there any reason it wont fit a 93?

not sure exactly, but i think the mounts would be different, and possibly the length of the tranny, creating a problem with mounting it to your driveshaft. if you are adament about putting it in, the worst case i can think of, will be a custom mounting bracket, and a custom driveshaft. custom routing of the shifter and linkage, other than that, i cant think of any reason why not. if 92RS says its strong enough, thats good enough for me.

dont know if it will bolt up? And the T5 came in the 305 as well....

the tranny will/should bolt right up to the LT1. As far as other things like mounts and driveshaft/torque arm I'm sure that hawks third gen has something for you but go to thirdgen.org and look up the links they have for a possible aplication...waitaminute...if I recal corectly the T56 and T5 are the same length, so find a donar car with the parts you need.

ok, i just wanted to know cuz my friend got a new tranny for his camaro, and i wanted to know if his old one would fit mine, i know t56 is obviously better, but a 5-speed is still better than auto. are the mounts, driveshaft, and torque arm expensive?

thanks,
