I started to swap the auto for the 5 speed. Ichanged out the pedals and mounted the reservior. I like to plan things out and I read the auto to manual conversion. My question is not seeing how a manual bolts up around the tail shaft - I'm not sure if I have all the parts or not. Does anybody have any pics of what it should look like or any words of wisdom!!!!. The car is an 82 Z28 with a 350 and hopped up tranny. Also the car has headers -- will that cause me any problems. Thanks

 

i did that swap, what do you mean by bolts by the tailshaft? the torque arm? or the mount to the crossmember?

 

I guess it would be the torque arm??? Is that the piece that runs fron the end of the tranny to the rear axle?? I'm kinda of new to Camaro's.

 

yep thats the torque arm, you do need the part that bolts to the tranny from a 5 speed trans, the auto one doesnt work. I believe that you can get a polyurethane one, it works much better than the stock rubber one.

 

Thanks for help I think I'm the right road now I order new bushings because the one's that came with the conversion were in bad shape. Thanks again
