ive got a 3.1 auto and i wanna convert the thing over to a manual. i was gunna take a tranny out of a s10 cuz i heard it blots up. wut all do i need to do to install this thing. install the clutch pedal and a cable from it to the cluth, and instal the new shifter? an how do i go bout hookin up the shifter to the tranny?

 

S-10 tranny will bolt up, but the shifter will be positioned under your radio. But, if you don't believe me, I've got an S-10 tranny sitting here I'll sell

 

theres no way to "modify" the shifter to work in the console?

 

Camaro T5 shifter is at the end of the tailshaft, S-10 T5 shifter is at the front of the tailshaft.. difference is about a foot.. very very hard to make up for.

The S-10 tailshaft also lacks provisions for the torque arm.. agian, very hard to make up for. So, put simply, while it will bolt to the engine, it won't bolt to anything else.

 

rig up something like they did on monster garage with the 'kenworth trike' to move the shifter

also i might be mistaken, but the ecm is different too. Something about keeping the rpms constant between shifts?

Someone let me know if i'm wrong.

 

I knew someone would say this.. hence why I went ahead and pointed out the torque arm too. You can come up with rigged fixes for this crap all day, but it pays to just find a V6 F-body T5 in the first place and not worry about it.

 

true......i was too tired and had already forgot about the torque arm when i started typing.

 

if you could make your shifter work somehow .....you can order the torque arm relocation kit for your car and it relocates it from the transmission to the crossmember...

 

Or you COULD just get the S10 T5, find a FBody tailshaft, and combine them.

 

vss is wrong
no prevision for the tq arm
shifter in wrong spot
the camaro t5 is designed to sit in at 7.5deg angle, s10 is 0deg angle. So the rear mount wont mount up.


Your better off buying the proper trans. I do know where one is forsale also.
