Re: wc t5 from v6 and nwc t5 from v8

Run the NWC V8 box if it is still good. If it gives you a few years of use, great.

The V6 headset stays and swaps all together other than 5th can be changed by itself. The countershaft is 4-3-2-1 in a row and all one piece.

My first T5 was an 84 TA unit that worked fine. My next was an 88 LB9 unit. Same ratios. I gained nothing because the first wasn't broken.

Doesn't work like that.

Cheep is too much if it's not what you actually want. And V6 ratios aren't what you want.

You cannot convert a NWC to a WC. Also the V6 ratios with your reat will be terrible.

Anything outside the trans will swap, anything inside will not
