HELP! t-5 swap

i've got awc t5 from an 89 iroc 305 tpi that i was going to sell but it would just be more fun to have it in my car instead of the 700r4. but i don't know all of what i'm going to need for the swap, i've searched but i can't find any good info. i know i'm gonna need the bellhousing, and the pedals and flywheel and pressure plate and clutch and all that good stuff but what other stuff is there? the crossmember is different from the auto to the manual trans right? thanks for your help

Re: HELP! t-5 swap

i believe you have it covered, but dont forget the hydraulic setup ( master/slave cyl)
and ull have to drill/cut out a hole for the master cylinder near the pedals

I swapped a 700r4 for a T-5 in my 83. The crossmember and driveshaft were the same.

the hardest part of doing it is making sure you cut enough for the shifter but not too much. and also the hole for the clutch master cylender. other than that it is easy.
