T5 to T56 Swap

I have an 89 Camaro with a T5 transmission and I bought a T56 out of a 95 Camaro. I figured out everything except the starter and the hydraulics for the clutch. If anybody can help me with these please let me know. Thank you

You will need to replace your hydraulics with the 4th gen one.

Not sure about the starter.

Re: T5 to T56 Swap

I did take all the hydraulics from the 4th gen I got the tranny from. But will they bolt right in or will I have to modify them at all?

Bolt in mostly, you will have to modify the eye on the master rod for the pedal stud.

Re: T5 to T56 Swap

There's a sticky thread at the top of this forum. It's a long read, but most any question you might run into has been asked and answered already.. Give it a few reads and pop back in if there's something still unclear.
