I have a auto 96 z but was going to do a 6 speed swap and now im thinking of doing a FLT level 3 trans because it will bolt right up. I have almost every thing to do the swap but its going to cost me another 600 to have the swap done. Someone on another board has a flt level 3 tranny and wants to trade for a 6 speed what should i do ? HELP The car is pretty much a dd

 

6-speed swap hands down.

 

I agreee 6 speed all the way!

 

Depends if you race or not.

Racing a 6 speed is a pain in the ***, feel free to see this link. For me.

the 4LJunkiE is no better but for racing it really helps.

The 6 speed is fun and when I didn't have one, I wanted it but then after issues with the clutch or hydraulics, going back to a good Auto (4L80e or TH400) really seems more appealing. Go with what you feel comfortiable with.

A Auto upgrade will be "easier" then a 6 speed swap.

 

I've done several T56 converstions. It's not difficult at all.

 

Thinking its a relatively tame car, the FLT trans will work fine. It wasnt until I put a stall behind my old 383LT motor that my 60e took a dump. Ive got a 3 speed Th350 now and is alot of fun to drive!

If you like switching gears, put a manual valve body in a 3 or 4 speed trans. Its just me but I couldnt stand a standard in my car.

 

Thanks guys ive always wanted a 6 spd car but the easiest way would be to just swap the autos. I think i will just stick with the 6 spd thanks guys for the info

 

if i had some one bring a 6 spd car to the house i could look at it and see what i need to do and i could probaly do it my self. idk tho

 

If you have questions about the swap, let me know.

 

at some time down the road ill switch to a th350 or 400 but id like to see how fast i can take the 6 speed. problem is it'll keep me from bein competitive in any gamblers races

edit: when you doin the swap ill be comin down in august to NC for school id be willing to let you check the 6 speed set up out.

 

where are you going to school at ? That would be awesome all i need to get is a crossmember and clutch and flywheel but i have no job right now so im stuck lol

 

highpoint university in highpoint. the cars comin down with me so if your close enough id drive let you put it on stands and check whatever you wanted to.

 

Sweet i might get up with you on that. High point is where alot of street racing goes down around here its about an hour away from me.
