folks, help me make sure i have everything i need to swap in the T5.......



T5 (duh)
bellhousing
flywheel
clutch disc
pressure plate
throwout bearing
master cylinder
slave cylinder
shifter
clutch/brake pedals
torque arm mount
clutch fork
Dexron III ATF

i cant find a anywhere that carries a correct VSS since i have a 2.73 rear end, so i'm just gonna wait until i either swap in a T56 or change the rear to 4.10's

 

A T-5 never came in a car with 2.73, the lowest ratio it was matched with was 3.08 in a V8 car , not sure about V6 cars but they are usually higher ratios anyway.I did the swap in my 91 RS V8 and the speed sensor I used was P#1045687. if you are not using a manual prom you will also need to jump out 2 wires at your park nuetral switch (where you auto shifter was) for the ECM or you will get a VSS code.The 2 wires are Black w/White stripe and Orange w/ Black stripe. The blue and green are you reverse lights, and the 2 heavy guage wires Brown and purple (I think, cant remember the colors for sure) are you neutral safety switch wires. I found neutral safety wires (same color) under the drivers side knee kick panel by the fuse box as well, I guess the factory harness has it in both places so which ever trans the car was ordered with , the N.S. wires were in either location.Hope this helps.Also , you diddnt list pilot bearing, and I would use all new flywheel bolts etc..

 

ummmmmmmm who ever said anything about putting this into a v6

this is going into my Z28 that is an LG4 and non-CC.....................

thanx for the part #

 

ummmmm mine is a wire driven speedo not electronic

would that part still be the same




i dont think so............

 

That Part # Is for electronic VSS used for TBI and TPI cars w/manual and 3.08 gear with electronic VSS 90-92. I assumed you were going to need that one.My fault. Just trying to help you out.

 

How much have you spent so far....if ya dont mine me asking.

 

thanx for trying

 

haha the swap is costing me more than the car

1987 LG4 Z28 $600


T5 tranny $150 (that includes shipping)
bellhousing, clutch fork, bolts, master cylinder, slave cylinder, torque arm mount all for $50
brand new GM pressure plate $100
clutch disc $100
resurfaced flywheel $125
pilot bearing $3
throw out bearing $33 (didnt pick it up yet from work)
ALL labor by myself $free
$561 grand total

:rockon:

 

oh yeah, i am trading my auto pedal straight up for a manual pedal setup

so thats free

and the shifter came with the tranny

and the manual console cover cost me $5 at the swap meet

 

i dont now if this helps but the part no# on my speed sensor is 10456087. an i have a 92 rs with an lo3 an t-5

 

thanx alot man

but i think you got better gears

(i have 2.73's)

and from 82-89 camaro speedo were cable operated

90-on are electronic

firebirds are different

thanx though

 

where did u get a working t=5 for $150? i plan on blowin mine up with my new engine so i need a back up

 

on this website of course!!!!!!!

its actually a V6 transmission so i had to go hunting for the correct clutch disc

yes, i know its weaker, but i need to get the Z28 on the road so i have a backup car

the guys was selling the 2.8 engine and transmission for $150 but he didnt want to ship them

so i offered him $100 for the tranny plus shipping if he did ship it, so he agreed and i got a working T5 for only $150

if you want this tranny to work, you'll need to get a centerforce clutch disc for a 1991 chevy lumina

its 9 3/4 inches, so its a little smaller, but should hold the power

:rockon:

 

Luminas came with stick?

Do you have a part number for that clutch disc?

And also, what type of pressure plate are you running?

I have a 9 5/8" inch clutch in my 84, I'm also running a v6 t-5

 

does it slip at all robert??

i will go to centerforce's website right now and get you the number

 

heres the part number:

CF360119

 

oh yeah, i went with a stock GM pressure plate since i work for a GM dealer and get a nice discount

and i got a resurfaced flywheel

 

If you got on the clutch while the car was running, it would slip.

More or less a safety device of sorts to try and prevent running a bigger clutch which I think would exert too much pressure on the input shaft of the tranny, and break it.

And actually, I believe the clutch disc I am running is from an S-10.

 

hmmmm that sucks

i hope the 9and 3/4 will be big enough to handle the power
