Damn good deal. I paid 1100 for mine with 40k on it (96 camaro), with hydraulics and 5.0 shifter. Not a bad price I think

About right... you'll love that trans. MUCH better box than what came in these cars.

Re: just picked up a T56

Ok, I've seen much debate about this. Should I convert from the Pull style clutch to the Push style. I've notice the Pull style clutchs are quite expensive. My camaro was originally an Auto. I currently have a T5 in it, I like it just want alittle more overdrive + I have a roller 86 t/a that has been a major back burner for my dad ...so I think it will get my T5 after the T56 is installed and working proper. I won't get the t56 near the camaro for a year or two. I've got a fiero gt project going right now and its taking all my attention and money.

Re: just picked up a T56

lol.. umm yeah it would fit in the Monte, but I'm gonna leave the auto in that. I absolutely love that car as it is. Cutting into it would be sacreligious. I already cut the Camaro open for a stick.. so I have no hard feelings about improving on a slight design flaw. The Monte never came as a stick..least in the U.S. So I believe it should stay that way.
