gear box question
Ok most places have a different part number for a trans am and firebird. Will all third gen gear boxes fit on any thirdgen car, or is there different mounting holes, or shaft angle or anything, I am assuming that the T/A part number is the quickratio, and the firebird is the base box. I think I will compair the part numbers with the irock gear box.
Any info will help,
Any info will help,
physically they're all the same, they'll bolt up. as you most likely know so will a S10 box and even a box off a 1st gen. i'm sure there is a lot more interchangeabilty as well. it'd be stupid and costly for gm to make a differant box and bolt pattern for every application.

ok, here's one I could use some help on. The t5 in my 83 Z28 broke the o.d and basically trashed the whole trans, one from an s-10 was installed (about an 88) I was not the owner when all of this took place. Any help with gear ratios?
