t5 help

[project g-force]

hi guys, i have a friend who is giving me a t5 tranny that is in good shape. i was wondering if it would fit in a 69 camaro with a chevy 350. what would i need to complete the install?

A T5 had the same bellhousing pattern as a Muncie so it will bolts right up to the bell. The T5 has a 17* tilt to it so the shifter will sit at an angle. The shifter will also sit farther back than a 4 speed will. The clutch is a 26 spline and the Muncie (except for an M22) is a 10 spline. The output is the same so a 4 speed or TH350 dirveshaft will fit the output. The driveshaft will need shortened. Some T5's have the cable output and some have the electric output but they are interchangable.

That is all true if it came from a camaro, What did the tranny originally com out of?

it came out of a camaro, im not sure what year though. im gunna guess late 80`s early 90`s. so what would i need as far as linkages and pedals? and could i use my old th350 tranny cross member and driveshaft but shortened?

There were 2 differant T5's, a Non World Class (NWC) and a World Class (WC) and I can't remember right off hand how to tell the differance. The WC is a bit stronger.

Use stock pedals for the 69. You can also use a stock bellhousing but it will be tilted which is still okay. If you get the bell with the tranny you can use it too but it'll probably be set up for hydraulic linkage.

You can adapt to the stock T5 hydraulic master/slave but it would be better to use a hydraulic throwout bearing if going that route. If you use the stock 69 bell, you can just run the stock mechanical linkage.
