Guest BadKarmaCreepin Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 when i'm looking for a new or rebuilt trans, does it have to be a t-5? and does it have to be from a chevy? i've seen a couple listings for t-5's out of mustangs, but i'm not sure if they would work or not, i'm guessing not obviously because of brands. let me know. thanks dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 I think Thurem is swapping a new HD WCT5 guts into a GM case, etc. Man that Tremec TR-3550 is heavy. I almost broke my back this evening taking it off the motor - with it all out on the floor! That T-5 is about 30+ pounds lighter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted July 30, 2001 Share Posted July 30, 2001 It is possible to adapt the ford to a chevy with a special bellhousing and pilot bushing (and vice-versa). This is expensive, so it would be easier (at least cheaper) to use the same OEM trans as motor you choose. From what I understand, the late model Camaros/Firebirds with the 3800 V6 use a Ford world class T5 and a special bellhousing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
