I am now in the process of swapping out the dual path transmission to a 96 camaro T5 that i re-welded the tailshaft mount straight instead of the angle that it had for | I am now in the process of swapping out the dual path transmission to a 96 camaro T5 that i re-welded the tailshaft mount straight instead of the angle that it had for | ||
the camaro/firebird mounting. I also had to re drill the bellhousing i bought and make a lower adapter for the T5. i chose to fabricate a cable clutch linkage because there just is not any room on the firewall for a master cylinder. I think that the cable will work fine and is easy to set up and adjust. if you would like to see photos, just email me at the above address. | the camaro/firebird mounting.

+ | today i attempted to install the T5 from the 96 camaro, and there is no way it will fit without removing a good portion of the tunnel which is what i did. now it is in and the shifter is almost in the perfect location. I am going to hunt for a hurst lever, to give it that old world look and put it in the perfect location for me. As you can see i am into the old school, innovation in action crowd. |
