My tranny just died on me this morning. I was planning a auto to t5 swap in a couple of week but now I have to do it now. I have a v6 trans and a v8 bellhousing out of an 84. I'm planning to use a v8 flywheel and pressure plate with a v6 clutch disk. I have been told this will work. I wanted to get another opinion on this. Anyone know of a place to get a new stock flywheel or a cheap performance one from. I need to get one asap b/c I need my car back. I'v checked every junk yard around me.

 

are the v6 and v8 clutch plates even the same diameter?

 

no they arent, i used a v6 tranny in mine for the swap, but i had an oversized bell, so i used an 11" clutch out of an astro( centerforce though) b/c it has the same splines for the v6 tranny input shaft, i think there is a 10 inch with the v6 spline also, i remember someone saying something about it being from a sonoma/ s10, Good luck
