Transmission Question

What is the best manual transmission for our cars? How much are they, and how hard to change out?

Depends on what you want it for. Probably a t-56.

t56 is awesome. A very easy swap from a t5 also, as long as you get all the nessecary parts from a donor car.

what are all the necessary parts for a swap (if you don't mind). I am considering one in the future.

you will need an lt1 t56, bellhousing, flywheel and clutch, hydraulics, a custom crossmember (sphon), a speedo. drive conversion, and the slave cyl. spacer (stock piece on lt1). If I forgot something, let me know.
