Dunlop Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Well i have searched and asked all my local part stores and no luck. I have a T5 transmission with a 14 spline. No place can get me parts!?!? It would be awesome if someone pointed me in the right direction as to what clutch and flywheel i need. After this is done then i can put my engine in. Everything is ready just dont know what parts to buy. The old flexplate off the engine is 168 tooth. Thanks!!

phocion Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Where have you guys got your trasmissions? I am so tired of trying to find a transmission. I also need a 10 spline right?? Please help Ok, I am absolutely not a transmission expert, but there is a lot of tranny/ls1 info on LS1 tech, including a pretty informative discussion on your T5: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/manual-transmission/137289-ls1-t5.html Second, there are a number of transmissions that seem to be "the" option, depending on your desired uses. If you want to stay automatic, and use it for general purpose and highway driving, the 4L60E is popular. Straight line track stuff people seem to stick to the TH350. Standard choice is generally the T56 6 speed. Personally, I am in the process of shopping around for a transmission rebuild place that wants to sell me a rebuilt T56 and give me some swap credit for the TH350 that I have. My general tactic has been to call the shops, tell them what I have, and what I am looking for, and ask what their price would be. Some places will work with you, some won't, but I stick to specialty shops because they generally know what they are doing. I'll pick a steering arm or a door out of a junkyard, but a tranny is a different beast for my level of experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a board search for "T5" (upper right hand corner, use quotes to eliminate the t56) and found several threads Seems like they are all on Gen I/II Chevy engines, but your mileage may vary.

Pyro Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 you need a 23 spline trans from a V8 camaro. 80's and early 90's. more splines means it is stronger and a V8 trans. you need a 153 tooth flywheel and a starter with a straight across bolt pattern (not diagonal). a flywheel from a 67 nova works well.
