Re: help swapping T5 into automatic sport coupe
We are going to need more specific questions than that. What parts exactly are you unsure of or having issues with?

Re: help swapping T5 into automatic sport coupe
Well that's just it I have questions on everything about it. I'm buying a donor car that's a 5 speed and just swapping the parts over. But everybody is telling me I'm going to have a lot of trouble with it
Re: help swapping T5 into automatic sport coupe
If you are buying a donor car...then you are already off to a good start. The hardest part of the swap is getting the clutch pedal into your car. It's part of the brake pedal assembly, which is above the steering column. Not very much room to work up there. Everything should be a bolt in deal. Even the dimple for the hole on the firewall should be there for the master cylinder rod.

You should be able to use the search function for any questions you may have on this. There are probably 100,s of posts on the swap.

Re: help swapping T5 into automatic sport coupe
for me it was hard as hell, but i now why. remeber back in 1990 when gm felt it nessacry to srcew every1 over by making a bunch of small changes? (for the camaros anywas) well i have discovered that the pedals, and everything to do witht hem, int he 90-92 are different from 82-89...also firebird pedals, same problem. other then the pedals everything else worked out great. mounts the same, driveshaft, torque arm (must be torque mount that came on the trans, not the car) slice the reverse light wires from the auto neutral switch to trans, find the clutch switch near the pedals (some taped above in dash, mine was thrown to the side behind the panel) and done.
