Help with T56 yoke an driveshaft Iv got a 95 Camaro came stock with the V6 an it has a motor and transmission swapped that came outta a 00' Vette. it has the borg warner T56. an last week the transmission went out so im going to pick up a new one tomorrow an the mechanic told me i need a new driveshaft an rear yoke.
***NOW my questions is what driveshaft an yoke do i need to get since when the transmission is in a vette its on the transaxle an mounted way differently than when in a camaro.
So im gonna call up the salvage yard an do i just need a rear yoke an driveshaft outta a 00 SS Camaro?

That's what I want to know. I know the vette trans can be modified to work but it shouldn't be mounted any different. I don't know about the overall length after the modifications compared to the stock t 56 but if there is a difference I can see it causing drive shaft issues.

I have no idea how he got it to work but its in there only issue i had was the master cylinder an slave cylinder. so i ended up going with an adjustable camaro master cyl an a corvette slave. we compared it last night to my buddies camaro t56 an they look almost the same except for the mounting brackets

It's not a big deal to convert a Vette T56 to f-body. You have to do it swap in a GTO mainshaft, F-body tailshaft housing, f-body/GTO front bearing retainer (aka midplate), f-body shift rail, & offset lever. The trans will look no different than the stock 98-02 f-body one.
Unless he performed all the above work, I don't see how else it could have been done.
Needless to say, post some pics of this.
