Third-gen T5 + LS1 = broken transmission!

hell, there is a reason they never put a T-5 behind the 350 cars from the factory


if you are dead set on a stick, get a T56

no use keeping the T5 in there unless you wanna leave 4 of the sparkplugs disconnected

i just found the conversion kit on summit also,they have everyting i need there,the t-5 i have is being built at my friends trans shop,i would love to go with a t56 but finding one reasonable seems to be a little hard and expensive,im on somewhat of a budget on this car already with the cam and conversion parts and all the other stuff ive bought for it and the price of the ls1.Just trying to keep it reasonable for my pocket.

I am not sure how you would make the clutch and flywheel setup work.

no idea, hardest part would be a flywheel i would thing

My imediate thought would be to use a 6.0 crank to flywheel spacer and redrill the 305 flywheel and have it balanced.

nah, I'm sure they make one for it, same flywheel for any older manual trans's

I haven't seen any muncie to ls1 flywheels. Not saying they aren't around. I just haven't seen them. Can't say as I have looked either. Not many guys want to put old manuals behind newer engines.

the plan of attack I offered would work however.

i'd save up some more money and spring for the t56.. 6th gear for the win

quicktime makes bells for ls >Richmond, Saginaw, Muncie, Bert, Brinn, Chevy TKO 500-600 , mustang t5 transmissions

 

[dave89iroc]

mcleod shows bellhousings for it, I am sure they know which flywheel works as well

that doesn;t nessacarly require a flywheel. If they offer a LS1 flywheel with a correctly splined disc. Problem solved.

 

[1BADAIR]

mcleod and other will give you any spline you want
quicktime shows which flywheel. looks to be all stock stuff
