The only manual transmission that was offered in 1987 in a Firebird (or a Mustang for that matter) was a T5. Post a picture and we can tell you for sure what you have.

That is an LT1 style T56. Maybe he meant 1997? That makes more sense. Originally Posted by sskustomz

I could not tell from their site but does their kit still use the "pull" style clutch? If so you may want to cosider a different alternative. The pull style clutch really limits you to whats available for use. I priced kits from Mclead, and tremec before purchasing my kit from Weir racing products. Weirs system really simplified things (as I believed they should be). Custom bell housing to mate the trans to the early block style (2pc. main) and an hydraulic TO bearing that does not need adjustment or any machining of the input shaft. And it was almost 1/2 the price of the mclead units.
