I was wondering what would be somewhat transmission would be somewhat easy to put in a 89 rs camaro that is better then the 700r4. maybe even an extra gear to get a little better excel cause i dont know about u guys but my car in 2nd gear takes forever to get to 3rd and kinda sucks...maybe and prob just me but any help would be nice. and how much they cost would be great aswell

 

T-56. Then you get two extra gears!

 

yeah but isnt that a manual? automatic if possible cause it would be easier

 

Sorry you're stuck with what you have.
Or go to a manual.

 

how much money does that cost to get converted to stick(not including the actuall tranny).

 

700r4's are actually decent auto tranny's. If yours still works, why not look into getting a 3:73 differential for more whiplash.

 

yeah that would be great but someone told me i cant cause i have a camaro RS 89 and that i would need a a diffrent rear axle to be able to do that cause of some reason.

 

Your only problem is the 2.73 open rear end. For the money you'd spend on a set of 3.73 gears and a posi-unit (optional but recommended) you would spend less money buying another used rear end with better gears and posi.
You can upgrade it, its just cost prohibitive.

 

The best thing for him to do is Set up the transmission 1st with the proper gearing servo gears etc.. Then he needs to get atleast a Borg warner 3:27 or 3:45 If he is stuck with the 3:27 thats fine.. remove the trans and put in the Clutch and banner kit and all the other possible upgrades.. Things should improve.. But whats best is to overhual and upgrade the complete transmission.. If he is talking t56.. The upgrade would surely save a lot of money.. T56 and gears a 2:73 is not going to cut it..

 

alright thanks everyone any idea how much that wuold cost...you guys rock

 

What I did was buy all the parts online myself.. And I had a shop do the build.. Bench builds roughly range at 600.00 avg. plus the parts.. Formyself in my build I avg. that with a pump and bushing kit I needed at the shop I used plus my build sheet parts list.. Don has all acsess to getting parts also and better well known experience to assure your ordering the correct parts.. And who knows depending on your build sheet better pricing..
