What are all the details on doing a 5 speed conversion on a gen 3?? Was thinking about this sometime down the road and have not seen any posts on this..
I have searched arond on the pro-touring site and there is a bunch of info there about it. Most of the time this place comes up as 'THE' place to talk to.
Im also interested and i looked at both those sites. Problem is, i dont have a couple grand to drop for a top transmission like the ones from chevy5speed. Is there another car i could possibly swap the tranny from? My friends dad owns a car repair shop and he said he could do it for me, i just need to get the trans. Are there any cheaper routes for people like me who arent into peak performance and drag racing?
The problem with the T5's is, its not a true over drive. Its just a 5 speed and still has the 1:1 output drive gear ratio. I know the others are more expensive and I'm not one to have that kind of money around to drop on a tranny. BUT, if I'm going to make the swap, I want an over drive of a .6 or a .7 output ratio and those big $$$ trannys give you that.
