HEY FELLOW 3RDGENRS I NEED HELP I HAVE FOUND MYSELF AN OLDER FIREBIRD WITH A 350 AND AUTOMATIC I THINK ITS A GTA BUT NOT SURE LOT OF THE ID MARKES ARE NOT ON (I ONLY PAID 1000). THIS IS MOSTLY A TRANNY QUESTION BUT NEED TO KNOW OTHER THINGS. K WELL I CURRENTLY HAVE A FIREBIRD WITH A 305 TBI AND A 5 SPEED.

1. CAN I ADD MY 5 SPEED TRANNY TO THE NEW CAR WHICH HAS A AUTOMATIC. WHAT ARE THINGS I HAVE TO GET, PREP, STUFF LIKE THAT. ( ENGINE DOES START LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING WORKS JUST NEED SOME TLC.

2. HOW DO I KNOW WHAT KINDA CAR DO I HAVE AND HOW DO I TELL.

I've swapped a T5 into a auto 85 camaro. its not hard at all.
things you need:
T5 trans and bellhousing (MUST BE FROM A 3RD GEN!!)
Clutch Hydraulics
Flywheel, Clutch Kit
Clutch/Brake Pedal assembly
Shifter
Lower Shift Boot and Top Shifter Plate(not needed but you will want them)
All the bolts and hardware
All the normal hand tools and tools for cutting and drilling metal
Im pretty sure thats it. DO NOT even think about starting this if you dont have EVERYTHING i listed...i made that mistake but got it done anyway(just took a while to find all the parts).

and like a said up top do a and you will find everything you need to know.
