Re: transmission issues

The ones for 89 Camaro V8. All the STOCK stuff for that application (operative word here is STOCK) will fit and work fine. As far as fitment, anyway.

If you're staring out with 6-cyl parts, NONE will work. Throw em in the trash and get V8 stuff. BH, FW, clutch, and transmission.

If you have a 6-cyl, the V8 clutch disc will not work. You'll have to do some adaptation. You will HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE the 6-cyl transmission behind a V8, even if you get it to "work". The gear ratios are all wrong; it will fell like you need AT LEAST 1 more gear in between every 2 that the 6-cyl transmission has. It will feel like driving a tractor with a race motor in it.

Re: transmission issues

Thirdgen V6 T5 parts that WILL WORK with V8 T5 =

Shifter / Shift ****
Floor Boot
Exhaust Hanger ( * Exhaust-side bracket might need to be swapped depending on your Cat.)
Torque Arm Mount
Tranny Mount
ALL Clutch Hydraulics
Slave Cylinder Shield
Cross-member
Speedo Sending unit / Speedo gears.


Thirdgen V6 T5 parts that WILL NOT WORK with your V8 T5 =

Tranny/Bell Housing
Flywheel
Clutch
Starter
Inspection Cover
Various Hardware ( Flywheel Bolts for example )

Shop around for stock parts ( V8 Clutch Kit, 153 tooth flywheel, V8 T5 Starter, etc... ) at any parts store for any 84-92 T5 V8 and you'll be G-T-G. Good Luck with the engine swap !!
