04-06 GTO MN12 Transmission questions I did search and know the differences between an F-body T56 and MN12 but heres what i dont know:
-Is it possible to bolt up a stock/or aftermarket trans mounted TQ arm to an MN12?
-Can i swap an F-body bell onto it to rid myself of only using the GTO starter?
-Is the stock GTO clutch/flywheel set-up compatible with the F-body bell?
I can buy a MN12 from my work with everything included but i guess its the whole TQ arm thing thats really getting me, i really need to use a stock TQ arm for now since my budget is getting slim. Thank You in advance for any help.
FYI- this trans would be going into a 91 Trans Am as im swapping a 5.3/T56 or in this case, maybe a 5.3/MN12 into it.

-Yes. The GTO and f-body share the same bellhousing bolt pattern.
-Yes. The flywheel uses the same tooth count and the stack height of the clutch is the same.
As long as it is out of a GTO and not a Corvette or CTS-V the MN12 will bolt directly into an f-body with only changing the offset lever for the shifter.
