i was just wondering what the proper term for my transmission would be in my 82 trans am
i have the 4 speed stick in her..
i know some are called like t-5's and such and was just wondering what mine would be called
reason is that i'm trying to buy a shifter off the net and on the sites they say what are compatable by these terms
if anyone has any insite that would be great
thanks
p.s. the engine is a 305..

 

I can tell you that it's NOT a T5 but I can't tell you if it's a Muncie (doubt it), T-10 or Saginaw.

 

Where is Reverse in the shift pattern?

If it's left and up, you have a Warner T-10 If it's right and down you have a saginaw

 

the shift pattern for reverse is actually left and down. all the way left past first gear then down..
any idea what that could be??
thanks

 

there saginaws, the BW's stopped being used in the 81' f bodys

 

My bad... left & down... there are others that are right and down, just not in GMs...

Down = Saginaw. Yuck. There were a very few Warners in 82s but the vast majority of 4-speeds in them are Saginaws.

 

thanks for the info guys, i can finally go out and buy a shifter knowing i got the right one..
since were alllready on the topic kinna, does anyone know a good site or somethin to purchase shifters? i am looking at one at jegs right now, it's one of those indy hurst ones for like 129, i think thats decent but if any of you guys got some advice on this topic i'm all ears
thanks boys
