I hope someone can help me with this question i want to replace my auto transmission in my 305 HO transam. I have a manual tranny from a v6 just wondering if it will work?? Can anyone let me know?
Thanks jeff

 

I don't think a v6 transmission will work on a v8, the bellhousing and input shaft are different among other things.. You can definitely swap an auto to a manual though if you get the transmission out of an 82-97 camaro or firebird with a v8.

 

Don't do it.

I swapped my V6 manual for a V8 manual, and I had to have a new clutch plate that would match the different input shaft.

You need a T56 from a 4th gen. A stick flywheel, and a shifter. It would be nice to get the hydraulics and clutch pedal too hahahhaha.

Good luck!

 

Thanks sounds like used the v6 tranny may not be worth the effort

 

Yeah not the way to go. T56 is the ticket!

 

The 2.9x first gear T5 or T56 are both very well ratio'd for a 3.73 geared L69. The V6 trans wouldn't be well matched to the engine in comparison.
