I bought a T5 setup yesterday and will be swapping it in to my 91Z28 here before long.

I have the tranny, bellhousing, shifter, slave cylinder and pedal assembly. It came with a clutch/pp but I will probably be replacing them, along with resurfacing the flywheel. Has anyone had any experience with the clutch set options from autozone/advance auto? They are like $99 for a complete match set, but I will spend more to get the perf. stuff if its really worth it. I don't drive the car aggressively but also want something that will hold up with occassional auto-x events.

I need to buy a Master cylinder for the clutch. What kind of tubing/hose do I need to go from the master to the slave cyls? Is there a specific type, size? Is there a clamp or anything that is needed on the hose? From some pics I've seen, it just looks like the hose slides over the barb ends and there is nothing holding it onto the barbs; correct? I've gotta get a reservoir as well.

Also, Does anyone happen to have a new lower shift boot for the trans tunnel for sale?

To my knowledge the trans crossmember and driveshaft from the automatic will work for the T5... is the trans mount the same too?

The only other item that I'm somewhat confused on is the torque arm mount. I don't believe my T5 still has it on it (It came from a 3rdgen, so it DID); Can I swap it from the auto to the T5 or are they completely different? If they won't swap, aside from buying a crossmember that has a T/A mount on it, what are my options? Can I buy the T5 T/A mount somewhere?

Any help would be appreciated; I'm hoping to try and tackle the project next weekend.

 

I'll start with a few hints that make it easier. I bought the master/ slave from Carquest because it came with tubing pre-filled and bled, about $130, worth it , nice unit. Installation of the master on the firewall is critical so take your time placing the holes.

 

Lower boot is hard to find. I made one out of an old inner tube and framed it with aluminum metal edging to hold the rubber.
