Re: t5 wanted

I know a few people trying to get rid of parts. Do you want just the trans of everything for the swap? how much are you looking to spend?

Go to a junkyard. Find a '93-'95 V6 Camaro with a 5-speed. Pull out the trans, pedals (all one unit), slave cylinder, and master cylinder. Got all that for $175, but that was me.

I see V6 third gens all the time at the yards around me with 5 speeds. A trans cost $100 from U-pull and pay. The other stuff should be under $100. I got pedals for my T56 swap for $20 from there.

Re: t5 wanted

all the salvage yards around me crush any thing older than 10 -15 years old and its hard to find thirdgen parts. 2.8 parts are slim to none.

Re: t5 wanted

Car-Part.com or LKQ Corp. LKQ will be more expensive, but you're taking about a nationwide network of auto parts. Car-Part.com is pretty awesome as well. Just a networked nationwide inventory of junkyards...

Re: t5 wanted

I'm just gonna be straight-up with you mikey88firebird...this is not the best way to do this. The Non-World-Class T5's aren't nearly as good as the World-Class T5's. The World Class T5 can be re-built by G-Force to take 500lb-ft and 600RWHP, but they won't even touch the Non-World-Class T5. I'm not gonna say "No" if you still want to buy my Non-World-Class T5, but I would feel guilty if I didn't tell you that there are much better ways to go about this.

Re: t5 wanted

http://car-part.com/cgi-bin/search.c...ey=&userPage=1

i searched through most of that and they range from 400-175 dollars...im not gonna do the work for ya though look through there and see if one is near you maybe driving distance

look through there, i still say bite the bullet and get one from hawks itll save you a ton of time and effort, those trannys are light enough to ship fed ex ground i think as well, our limit there is 150 pounds

Re: t5 wanted

WOW...I can get a 3.4L V6 AND a World-Class T5 still bolted to it for less than $500 up here. I must be in junkyard heaven, or something...
