FS: COMPLETE T5 swap in CT.

Hey guys, I made a thread in the classifieds section, but I figured i'd post here too.

I'll include everything you need to swap a T5 into your car. Here's a list, but if i'm forgetting anything, just lemme know.

1. T5 non-WC tranny. It held up great behind my 355 oddly enough, mighta just been one of thsoe freek T5's. Then again I never powershifted or really dumped the clutch, so that could be it. Either way it's in good shape.

2. 153 tooth flywheel. It has surface rust just from sitting in my garage for ~2 months. No big deal, and could be cleaned up with a wire wheel, or sandpaper or whatever.

3. A starter for the 153 tooth flywheel.

4. I'll include the stock clutch. It was fine on my 355, but like I said I kinda babied it. Either way it's still decent, so i'll throw it in. If yuo wanna give me $260 (negotiable) I've got a brand new in box never opened Zoom street/strip clutch here. Beautiful piece but i'm going automatic.

5. Slave cylinder/reservoir and lines as well as the clutch pedal/fork.

6. Stock T5 shifter with a black ball **** and a nice leather Hurst ****

7. Stock shift boot and everything.

8. The manual tranny center console from my car. It has the shift pattern plate and stuff, and will basically guarantee your T5 looks factory once it's in your car.

9. Anything i'm forgetting?

Anyways, that's what i've got. I'm looking for $600 OBO for it, or $860 with the brand new Zoom clutch, since it's literally EVERYTHING you'd need for the swap. If the price is too high, simply make me an offer, worst case scenario is i'll just say no.


Things i'm looking for:

1) A good 700R4 that hasn't been sitting.
2) An automatic center console for a 3rd gen.
3) An aftermarket converter for a 700R4 (~2,800 stall).
4) A starter to work with a SBC and a 700R4.
5) A flex plate for a SBC.
6) Or a complete 700R4 kit outta a Camaro.

-Thanks, Brandon

Man if you wernt all the way up in ct, id tell you to swap your manual for my 700r4 setup(rebuilt 5k ago.) Well good luck with getting what you need, but might I ask why you want to switch from manual to auto?

Re: FS: COMPLETE T5 swap in CT.

Did you have trouble with the clutch pedal height/ release point after your T-5 install? Aft my swap, my clutch pedal ended up being 2" above the brake pedal! Did you use the stock flywheel or aftermarket?
