Can you explain your setup, and what modifications you had to do?

Thanks

 

396 and m21 factory set up except blow bell and hurst shifter, but i'm guessing you mean in a 3rd gen f body, that i don't have

 

I have a T-56 with my 2-piece RMS 305; used to have a 400 with the T-5 that came in the car (83 model), and then later with a 91 T-5.

Like ede, I've had about a dozen cars over the years with manual transmissions; mostly 4-speeds, about half & half big blocks & small blocks, in the Chevrolets I've had. Even a few other brands besides GM.

What are you trying to find out?

 

Chronology is like this:

1983 - 2002: L69 and T5

2002-2005: 350 and T5

2005 - ? : 350 and Super T10

No modifications needed for any of these, but I will be making a set of NASCAR-style shifter rods for the ST10. If you dont know them, heres a pic. They are solid rods, and have heim joints on either end to take all the slack out of the linkage. It will also be getting a Hurst shifter. I've been told that the one for a '63-67 Corvette is what I need?

Original factory World Class T-5 in my 91 Formula with a damn chattering RAM Kevlar clutch on my 383 SuperRam.

Why are you asking?

 

I had a Tremec TKO, Lakewood safety bellhousing, SPEC stage III clutch assembly,with a 10 lb aluminum flywheel. Modifications: the driveshaft has to be shortened, good time to upgrade the u- joints, and to increase the tube size to 3". The Tremec sits in the car differently than a T-5, or 700R4. You can use the spacer blocks that the Tremec dealers provide, or modify your crossmember, so you dont need the spacers. This is a must if you plan on using the Mufflex "Y" pipes as I had. The bellhousing was "dialed in" within the .005 allowable specs. for proper input shaft alignment. (mine was out big time). All this backed a 436 EFI SBC. Now the transmission of choice is a fresh 700R4.

 

in my 82 berli I have a 327 with the stock 4 sp ****ty saginaw. Only reason why it is probably not blown out is I can't drive my car much cuz i get to many tickets. 404 rwhp on a saginaw will ruin it real quick im sure if you drive it enough

 

stock non-World Class T5 from an 87 on an 355 TPI, but I didn't drive it for more than a week before deciding to go HSR. I'm in the middle of installing that right now.

 

Im running a manual and auto all in one. Best of both worlds. It down shifts from overdrive to a 1 to 1 ratio when you nail the thrittle to the floor. Feels just like an auto shifting into passing gear. Plus you manually down shift the super t10 for a second gear reduction and its all smiles from there . You dont want to know the amont of mods it took to install.

 

i have a tremec TKO II right now....using stock belhousing and adapter plate

my driveshaft didn't need to be shortened....until i got a moser 12 bolt

im switching up to the tremec 600 soon though

 

THATS RIGHT....I goofed. I actually had mine shortened to accommodate the Currie 9in. Not the Tremec. Thanks for bringing that up....
