Did the 82z come with the super T10 trans? Is it the same all aluminum one used in 80-81? I am looking at an 82 and I couldnt see underneath well enough to do an ID but the trans looked to be aluminum.

 

I really wouldn't know, but if you want to find out it it's aluminum take a magnet to it.

 

Thanks, I know how to ID aluminum I just want to know what trans was factory installed. I cant get under the car with a jack for a few days so I just wanted to know what should be there.

 

Could either be a Super T10 or a Saginaw.

Not the same as the earlier model T10s '81 and prior...only has a 27 spline output shaft (versus 32) and the tailshaft has the torque arm mount.One year only trans.

 

guys! making this harder then it has to be...
I have the T-10, and from what i've heard, the easy way to tell is.... -> where is reverse?
top left is T-10.
bottom right I think is saginaw,.

 

T10:

R 1 3
-- 2 4

 

I was just gonna say, I know there's another active member with a T-10, air_adam...

hey adam, did you re-use the stock 305 flexplate when you did the 350 w/ t-10? I'm doing up a new motor, and i'm trying to figure out what i'll need to buy... 153 tooth?

oh yea, do you have a shifter for that too?

 

..and I quote "Did the 82z come with the super T10 trans? Is it the same all aluminum one used in 80-81?"
..and in another post " I just want to know what trans was factory installed."

I specified that 82's came with either the T10 or the saginaw factory installed.That T10 is a different trans from any other year T10 like he also asked in the ways that I stated.

I also own a factory T10 car..so I would hope I know a little on the subject.

 

I haven't yet installed my T10, but from what I can tell, the flywheels for the T10 and T5 are the same. I have both, and the only difference I can tell is that the flywheel thats on the 350 now (with T5 still attached) is aluminum, and the T10 flywheel is steel.

I'll be reusing my aluminum flywheel when I install the T10.

I also have the factory shifter for the T10. Its a pretty crappy shifter, lol

I know that Hurst makes a Competition Plus shifter and an install kit for both the T10 and the Saginaw 4-spd trans' in these cars. I plan to get one of those before I install it.

Really, the only reason I haven't installed my T10 yet is that I can't find an '82 torque arm around anywhere. Any '82 torque arm will work... one from either 4-spd, or an auto. I just can't find one.

 

thanks guys, I will be looking at the car tomorrow. This car has been messed with and is pretty much a parts car, so Air Adam if I get the car the torque arm will be for sale. I will be using the T10 in another car and wont need the torque arm.

 

Lengthen yours 2 1/4".

83 and up TA's are 55"..82's are 57 1/4".

I am selling Hurst shifter and trans in the classifieds.

 

I have a hurst shifter on my car, came with it...
I'm pretty sure i've seen '82's in the yards around here, if you're in a bind I might be able to help you out, greyhound one to you or something.
