T-5 fitment problems

I have an 88 GTA and I decided to sway out the 700r4 for a T-5. My questions are...is the torq arm bushing bracket different on a auto trans compared to a manual? Mine doesn't seem to match up. Also, I have a speedo which isn't driven by a cable, but it looks like the trans I got uses a gear. Am I gonna need a different trans for everything to work out?

No. There are just two.

No. Get the VSS for a T5 88 GTA.

The torque arm bracket is different.Did you get the trans from a camaro?If so thats why it has the cable driven speedo.You will need to get one from an 86-92 firebird.
