I am probably gonna use a saginaw four speed that I found in a local junk yard, but its behind a four cylinder. I am going to need a V8 bellhousing that takes a hydraulic clutch. Problem is there was never a hydraulic clutch available with this trans that I know of. Will a 82-84 camaro four speed bolt to a T5 bellhousing? I realize the fbody T5 bellhousing will not owrk because it tilts the tranny for ground clearance. Is there any way to make a clutch slave cylinder work on a bellhousing meant for a Z-bar? Are all manual GM bellhousings about the same? Could I use a GM truck four speed bellhousing or would it be a different length? I am not finding a whole lot of information on this transmission, everyone just kinda seems to forget it was ever available in a thirdgen.

 

not sure about the cluch linkage but you should be able to use the belhousing if it came off a chevy- all the bolt patterns on the back of the engines are the same - L4, 90*V6, 60*V6, small block and big block -I also think a pontaic will work but I'm not 100% sure, you'll still have fun with the crossmember and driveshaft -diffrent spline and possably lenth

 

Are you sure about the bolt pattern thing? If thats true would I just take the bellhousing off the four banger? there is an 84 four speed four cylinder camaro with a hydraulic clutch and it would be great if that bellhousing would work, although somehow I seriously doubt it.

 

yeah I'm 100% sure that if it's a chevy it has the same engine side bolt pattern - the only diffrences in bellhousings are tranny bolt pattern, length of bellhousing and clutch mounting plate/pivot ball location
