I was wondering what t5 tranny i should get. Which years had the mechanical speedo and what years fit. Does an s10 t5 fit just as good as a camaro's?

i dunno about what your intentions are with the car but if you're planning onserious drag racing then i'd suggest the turbo 400

um unless u know something the rest of us dont. Im almost positive they dont fit. Two the gear ratios might not be rotary friendly. whats wrong with your fb tranny?? I hope to god u didnt do something unforgiveable like put a piston engine in your car. NOPISTONS. really where did u get this idea who told u this would work..

i see them all the time here in indiana. highly modified valve bodies and a trick torque converter with high stall limits. a company in ohio makes an adaptive bellhousing to mount the 13brew on a turbo 400. they use it on their drag car

here's the specific page with the trans, their site is a little difficult to navigate as it's horribly organized
