I am going to put a 5 speed in my car before spring rolls around, It'll be something I can find in something else and pull from the junk yard. What would be my best choices? Something that will bolt bo my gen 1 block.

Also what clutch's are sholud I look at?

why not a t56?

Yea the T56 is a nasty Tranny, i have a world class T5 on the way mainly cuz of the cost..If I could id get the t56, i loved the 6 speed I had on my LS1 Rx7

The cost of going T56 over a T5 would cost 3 times as much..

Yeah cost is why I'm going T5, what should I look for? One in a truck, a car, is there a difference? They came in 3rd gens right? What, if any, used a T5 with a hydrolic clutch? What about the clutch and flywheel? Just order what ever clutch I want for the vehicle the tranny came from?

The World Class T5 mounts directly to the 350 SBC....if u do get a t5 make sure its the world class...

w/c t5's were in the 88 to 92 fbodies.i have had 2 and if you speed shift them with an engine that's building power you can destroy 3rd gear.as far as bolting up to the gen 1 block if you have the bellsousing and all they will do fine.are you using a one piece rear main seal or 2 piece?i used the hayes street/strip clutch kit in my 3rd gen.i am also selling my clutch ,flyweel and t/o bearing if i don't rebuild the t5 and put it in my 4th gen project

Its a 2 piece rear main. What is the average price I should expect to pay for a W/C?

xtreme2001

anywhere from 300 to 700 for a decent used one.i paid 350 for my last one and it lasted about 4 years .it held up for a couple of months behind my 383 in my 3rd gen camaro
