It won't work, like a T5 from a mustang, the shifter is in the wrong place.

You need to find a 3rd gen trans

Plus the trans is not tilted to 17* in the s10 its straight up. If your car is a V6 then get the trans and peddle assembly from 84-94 with the 2.8,3.1, or 3.4 V6. If its V8 then choose 84-92 only.
