That factory T-5 suck chocolate salty ***** big time!

Sooo, if I wanted to keep a car stock looking would I still be able to swap a T-56? Would it look 100% factory on the interior if I keep the factory 5-spd gear indicator where it is? How hard is the swap? what is involved and what's the cost including a used T-56?

What about a WC T-5, are those total crap too? Can a WC T-5 be built into a real tranny of should I just go for the T-56?

 

yes it can look factory inside,

as for the world class t5, minor differences, mostly some bearings that are intended to improve gas mileage, everything else is identical in size, tooth count and diameter

 

yes the interior looks exactly the same, you can buy a shift pattern indicator if you want, i have one but havent put it on yet.
