Default 10 Speed Swap

Now that the ten speed trans is starting to become more available, has anybody tried putting one in a first gen camaro with the speartech harness or something similar?

I havn't spoken with Speartech. I wasn't sure if anybody had tried the 10 speed in a camaro yet. I don't know about the swaps, but most of the truck guys have alot of negative reviews on the 8l90 including I think there is a class action law suite against GM because of the transmission so I was wanting to steer clear of it.

The 10 speed uses CAN car area network from what I understand and requires a lot of sensor data input the PCM/BCM modules. That makes for a complicated swap into an older car unless using a package set up forth swap. Speartech has a LT4/10 speed package listed on their website. You'll also need a big budget. Speartech would bey first point of contact if planning for a 10 speed swap.
