Wolf (Darren) - - - check out those two pictures posted by 'Nova Thug' . . . . Joe's top pic shows just where those small metal tags are mounted to u'r trans - the bolts that hold the
tail housing to the main case (my tag was also located there & on the drivers side). just FYI . The Numbers you need are those ; 1352 - 072 ( all T 5's are "1352" & the gear ratio is the . . . . " 072 " number. That number will tell you (over on the British V8 . org site) - - what kind of car it came from , what years it was used , then what each gear ratio the trans is & the od gear. you can look up-my-trans # - - - Tag # - 1352 - 222 .
Then look at Joe's 2nd picture . . . that's a Camaro tranny with the Camaro "tail-shaft shifter location" . . . see how far back that "shifter is located" - - (it will most likely hit u'r bench seat ) then, look at my Post # 10 -
picture # 1 . You can see the different shifter positions = = the S-10 / S-15 tail housing shifter position IS Better . Also in Post # 10 , Picture # 2 , shows you just where the "shifter
handle" will come up through your floor (or very close to that spot).
Darren, I really like your car . . . looks to be pretty straight body . . . . got the "sleeper look going on there" .
You do need to read up on "lugnutz65" T 5 page . . . . that's some of the best info out there, plus he talks about all this info. - - - - Just about ALL B/W T 5's are the same
between the two types ; World Class & Non W/C . . . and you do know that the 93 & up transmissions ARE VSS Electric Speedo Drive types. I'd say that the biggest difference
for the two types trannys are : For the Nwc trans . . . you can - not buy new (stock) gears . . . (some gears are the same in both types ; like the 'Reverse idler gear - are the same) .
But for 'rebuilding a NWC T 5 - - - if you were too need new (stock) gears . . . you would need another 'used trans' , with good gears inside . BUT, for the W/C T 5 - - - You can still buy NEW Gears - if needed. And, Both types are about the same 'strong - wise' in stock form .
Then, you can read about ' taz3 - T 5 install ' in his 69 Nova 396 BB factory 4 speed car . He installed a 'modified T 5 w/c' using his BB motor & after-market (stronger) gears.
I do have a lot more info, if needed with pictures . . . . . . . jim
Look here for taz3 . . T 5 Install - - - - great info for a V8 car to use a T 5 transmission .
I'm not sure if there's any interest, but I figured I'd share what I did and learnt with my T5 install. I really wanted an OD transmission in my car with minimal fuss and at a reasonable price. A T-56 or Temec are $4000 up, plus everything else needed for the install, including cutting the...

Paul did his T 5 install just before I did mine . The Big Difference is : He used new stronger after market gears . You can buy "after-market" gears , and different gear ratios .
I used all stock w/c gears and new rebuild kit .
You install a T 5 5speed & you DO Need To have your Drive-shaft cut down .
