So, the S10 T5 worked? I was always under the impression that thee trans input shaft was too long to work

not sure about the s10 t5 with the chevy bolt pattern , but the 1994/95 t5/4 cylinder trans with the ford bolt pattern worked good .. had to change clutch disk to chevy and used a jeep bearing retainer and chevy driveshave yoke .. stock amc pilot bearing .. and speedometer is electronic
pilot bearing = stock amc flywheel = stock amc eagle clutch = stock amc eagle .. clutch disc = chevy 10.4 fine spline [ 26] [ think 1990 camaro 5.0 bell housing = amc #3235824 hydraulic = slave- stock amc eagle .. master- wilwood #260-6088 pedals = stock amc eagle Edited by its RJ - Sep/21/2017 at 3:21am |

Bringing one back from the dead. After going through the pain of the T-5 conversion I must say I prefer the 3 speed. More than enough torque and you go through the gears way to fast on the T-5 under hard acceleration. John
