The first year I think was 87. Just use an electric sending unit in the tranny.

1986.

Get the speedo gear stuff from a later model trans. and it'll have the electric compatible parts...

Ditto that. It swaps right over, no hassles whatsoever.

I'm using a 91 T-5 in my 83 car right now; same swap, except the opposite direction.
