you guys know if it will? id like to put a 5spd in my 82 transam,the 5spd is from my 89 firbird,also i know that it wont hold up to the amount of power my engine has so if i go easy on it wood it work?

 

IIRC, the input shaft splines are different so you will have to use the V-6 clutch disk.

 

but will a v6t5 bolt up to a v8 bellhousing?thats wut i need to know.im sure i could get a high perf clutch disk for a v6,but i need to know if the v6t5 will bolt to a v8 t5 bellhousing

 

you don't wanna do that

Bolt patterns are different, and I think the actual input shaft is different as well, but I'm not 100% sure on that...

not really a good idea to do

 

The length of the input shaft is different, so the transmissions will not interchange.

Your best bet if you are going to get a T-5 is an 88-92 World Class from a V-8 car, preferably from a Z28, cause they have a better 5th gear ratio. The World Class is the strongest version of the T-5 and the Sybchros are the most durable and effective. These gearboxes can be a bit tuff to come by, but they are worth the effort.

A properly built World Class T-5 can comfortably handle 400 HP and 400 Lb-Ft torque, if it is not abused.
