namz7791 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Couple of questions regarding my WC T5 install. 1. I do not have a manual for the 3rd gen Camaro, only for the Suburban that I got my engine out of. Of course it doesn't say anything about the pilot bushing for the manual trans other than put a new one in with a clutch change. I am assuming that these bushings are not greased. Is this correct? 2. Also, the suburban's bell housing had the bolt torque listed for the bolts from the tranny to the bell housing as 75 ft-lbs. These seems like it would be very high for the aluminum Camaro bell housing. Does anyone have a 3rd Gen manual that lists the correct bolt torques for attaching the T5 to the bellhousing and the bell housing to the engine? Thanks!

Dan Juday Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Out of the '91 factory (Helm) manual for the Firebird with T5 tranny to V8: Transmission-to-Flywheel housing (bellhousing) bolt 55 lb. ft. Clutch Housing (bellhousing)-to-Engine bolt V8 70 lb. ft. Your clutch kit should come with a little dollup of grease in a "handy whipe" type packet for the pilot bushing. If not just use some high temp wheel bearing grease. Just enough for a thin coating on the mating surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
