WHy are there 3 diffrent 5 speeds in 88? How do I know what slave cylinder to get?
Okay I have a 86 Z28 and I swapped in a 88 5 speed, I went to order a slave cylinder/ master, and they said well what 5 speed do you have and I Don't know which one it is? Any one have anyidea it came out of a 88 iroc, I was thinking maybe it is a 1 le, v-8 and a v-6, Maybe that is why there are 3.?

If you're ordering it from GM don't be surprised to get smashed with an array of numbers. They have a different part # for everything. They list different part numbers and prices for universal parts, such as flywheels. The three I can think of are V8, V6, and L4. I believe the L4 was still in limited production in 86 but for sure was gone by 88. You should be able to buy one for just a V8 car or buy one by an engine code.

Frankly, you should just order the hydraulics for a 94 Z28 w/ T56. They fit and work perfectly and have a longer braided line. IIRC, they're cheaper too.

I never thought of that. Would just have about 4-5 more inches of slack to pin to the tranny which is nothing. Only comes to about $102 from GMPD after shipping. Comes with the whole deal and pre-bled and full of fluid in the reservoir.

If you need engine codes, and you have a 5-speed from an 88 V8 car, tell them it's from an LB9, engine code F. That and the lower performance versions of the 305 were the only choices in 88 if you wanted to grind the gears yourself.
