Re: t56 swap question
Are you thinking of using your automatic shifter plate for the manual transmission? If so, no it wont fit, but you can cut it and make it look real nice.

Otherwise, if you convert to a manual console shift plate from a 5 spd car, (which bolts to your console), you will have no problems.

Yes - After converting from a 700R4 to a T56 I used a factory 5-speed shifter plate from a Third Gen and have no problems.
