Im almost finished doing my 700r4 to t5 swap but the torque arm bolts dont line up to my tranny. I heard the torque arms were the same for the 700r4 to the t5. Can any body tell me which torque arm I need to get,and where from.
Thanks,Eric

 

Both trans have the same torque arm (there are two versions, however, one has the bushing lips facing the driver's side of the car, the second facing the pass side. The mounts for the two trans may be different. The exhaust hangers are at any rate.

im with James. Im fairly certain the t5 TA mounts are different than the 700r4.

 

Yup; the whole TA bracket thing is different between the 700 one and the T-5 one.

Doesn't matter which design of T-5 it is though; you just gotta have a T-5 TA bracket, and the bushing in it must match your torque arm's "lips".

 

Fits the T5: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/engi...m-bracket.html

 

Wrong.

There are 3 versions of the torq arm.

82/83 plus the 2 you mention.

OP's best bet is to get the arm off a 1984 or newer car then get the matching bushing to go in a newer T5 bracket.

 

Wrong.

Here's the swap he's doing.

That doesn't involve the stuff that came in these car in 82.

He already has one of the 2 right TAs; now all he needs is a T-5 bracket, with the "lips" in the rubber pointed the right way to match whichever of the 2 83-up TAs his car happens to have.

 

There's a diagram in the following link that shows the two different "lips":
