Re: T5 to lsx

Keep in mind everything that connects to the transmission will be out of alignment. The cross member, trq arm, shifter, etc. They all have to be adjusted to account for the straight up installation.

No matter what seats you get I'm pretty sure you need to swap over your 3rd gen sliders to them. I just installed 97 Sunfire GT seats in my 82 and needed to re-use the 82 sliders.
