i have a 1992 camaro rs 5spd. Third and fourth gear dont like me very well as it grinds going into those 2 gears. I t has the not so awesome t5 5 spd that everyone tells me to ditch and get a t56. i would but im not overflowing with money right now if you feel my drift. i have a friend that races late models on pavement and has a built saginaw he is giving me a DEAL on. Besides losing 2 gears (3spd) is it worth doing? will the t5 bell housing work? what about the fly wheel and clutch? has anyone tried this or seen this before?
The clutch disk will not work. A saginaw is 10 spline vs I think 26 for the t5. You will lose your torque arm mount on the tail shaft so you will need to buy a different cross member that relocates the arm. I think the drive shaft length will be different as well. Bellhousing should work. Also the t5 shifter is somewhere around 3 inches further back then the saginaw.
If I couldn't avoid one being on my property (like, let's say, one day, it just started raining Saginaws) I would pay somebody to come haul it off. IOW, it has NEGATIVE value... it would devalue my property by being on it.
Hmmmmm. Ok I know this question has been asked a hundred times, but whats keeping a ford t5 from working? Bolt Pattern Obviously. any thing else? do they make and adapter plate?
