ttt, your helping, please keep info coming

 

Different position of the shifter. Are you sure the Fbody tailshaft will work?

 

There is a bright side - all you need is an S10 tailshaft, to mount it into your truck...

 

tail shaft n splines all the same.

I need the shifter futher back anyway.

I'll just cut the mount off the cross member, then re-weld it at needed angle and height.

 

Be careful... it's like a pot metal crap... might not like being cut/welded

 

Not the tranny, the cross brace on the truck.

 

ok I saw this post and had to ask my own question. Im using a T5 trans attached to a 3.1 engine, not going in a GM application, could I re-clock the trans to the straight up and own position and it will work fine?the tilt of the trans is a little bit of a concern because the trans currently in the car I believe mounts strait up and down, basically I didnt want to have the shifter in my lap in second gear.

 

The tilt had something to do with the f-bodies. I read it in one of the car magazines once... damned if I could find the article in that pile! I -think- it had to do with the way the trans needed to fit? Anyway, you'd be fine un-doing the tilt, the trans worked like that (no tilt) in other cars...

 

cool cool i wasnt to interested in having the shifter in my lap in second gear.

 

Mine is now vertical. I am just going to have to redo the frame mount part.

S10 shifter went in it fine too

 

LOL! Yeah, right? "Is that your shifter or are you just happy to see me?" And forget about powershifting- ouch.

 

Tomp, It's got buckets, so thats not a problem.

Now in the bed of the truck, thats another story
