quick Q...is the 5speed transmission from the later model maro/birds with the 3.4L engine a T-5 as found in the thirdgens? Also, besides the obvious stuff needed for a auto/manual swap in any thirdgen car, what else would be needed for this swap, as i have access to power boosters, pedal assemblies, etc from the local they-pull-it...plus the guys cool w/ me....120 bux for the tranny.

 

Yes. You will need the flywheel/clutch from it, as well!

 

so the trannys from the 2.8/3.1 are the same as the 3.4 trannys?

 

No, they are not - they are all BW T5, and the 93-95 3.4's are WC T5, but with lower (numerically) gearing.

 

i thought 88 and up was WCT5 trans? if not, what was the big change in 88? because a trans mount was about $100 for mine, and about $20 for 87 and back. i thought i read somewhere on here that WCT5 was 88 and up. ill look around. will a trans out of a 93-95 bolt right in to our cars or what all has to be done?

 

yes, 88+ is WC. 93-95 just got different gear ratios.

 

so theyll bolt right in? what one has better gearing? ill be using mine for fun at the drag strip as well as driving daily.

 

The pre '93 ('88-'92) has a better first gear, but I believe the '93-'95 has a better overdrive...

 

I'll bet there is more than gearing to absorb better torque of a 3.4 5-speed in the 93-95 F Body.
Great score!
