ok guys I just got some info on the conversion.. here is what I was given...

- Use flywheel for 4L80 and the spacer for adapt to the ls engine

- take the lenght of the drive shaft, change the yoke for use a 700 or 4L60 or what you want

-put the vss sensor in the 700-replace the shifter and make a little hole for the wire

-put the reverse switch on the shifter

-the best is your tranny was full manual, besauce you don't have to use the kick down wire

-tune the ECU for the speedometer

-go burn some rubber

Cant wait for mine. Have had my 80e on the floor for a few months now waiting on the fab shop. Goong full manual with b&m ratchet shifter trans brake and lock up switch. With the solid axle drive shaft optiins will be easier haha

Aaron, did he mention if there was any change to the transmission mount/support and whether a different starter would be needed?

Yours is turning into a 1/4 only car with an auto and a solid rear axle. Are you going reverse manual valve body so you can yank backwards? Can't wait to see how fast that animal knocks down a 1320. I'll never do it cuz I love to road race on big fast tracks. But it will be impressive to see another one... Plenty of videos!

My 80e is in my car already. Just waiting to get my jy 6.0 done so I can get her back on the road. I'm using a stock ecu with a seg swap on hpt

Is this a conversion for the handicapped or the lazy?

ryridesmotox

Was the stock T56 mounting sufficient it did it have to be alerted much?

I may never do the swap but that would be something to think about if I wanted to start drag racing more.

Lol 1/4 mile... Quickest cars use autos. But in general... Yes it is for the feeble

eagle-co94

That explains all the automatic V2's.

I prefer permagrin which is why I yanked the 4l60E from my '96 Impala SS and slipped in a T56...and some 4.56's.

The mount will need to be notched and a tab welded to the back for the tranny mount

haha, almost makes me consider keeping the ol' girl...

never hurts to have options... Some prefer #'s to fun factor! Me? I prefer #'s and fun factor so ill just have to make an auto work... I may get something else as a road coarse car...


I would LOVE a 6speed in a 95+ Impala SS!!! Sounds like a blast!!

hahahaha, I was reading it and thinking... man..... Why did it take so long? I could have my 4yr old do it! lol


I am waiting for an update now.. I will update you shortly

Ok, he did tell me the transmission does need to be modified to fit the auto trans..

NEED MO POWA!

iTrader: (2)

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but on my swap the tunnel had to be cut to clear especially for the plug on the side of the trans. Also the trans had to be modified the tabs have to be cut. A custom transmission mount had to be fabricated as well as a custom drive shaft. My shifter assembly is pretty trick its a b&m but looks just like factory using the manual shifter, ****, boot etc lol

Yeah, the guy said he did it without having to cut into the car... He said he'll post pics on the CTS-V VS page later...

I had contacted RPM transmission on this in the past they took this on they said it couldn't be done correctly with out modifying the tunnel.

Im gping full manual but not reverse. Making custom trans mount and like mo powa said will have to do a little massaging and a custom drive shaft but had to get that anyway for solid axle. Yes my car will be for the 1320 and for the highway as well.

I too. Going woth a b&m ratchet shifter but woth a custom center console with my twp step, trans brake and lock up switch wired in it

runsfromdacops

what shifter are you &Mguys using? i have been looking at the b&m pro ratchet for my 80e.

i was going to use the stock cts shifter but it does not have a manual 1st gear

Does anyone have a working segment swap in a v? Or are people just assuming it can be done?

runsfromdacops

im still working on hopes and dreams. i have a file with the seg swap but have yet to try it as my motor is apart right now.
i do know that their isnt a seg swap for the 04 os. the one i have is a 05 os
hope that helps
