  • t-5 to six speed?

    Is there anyway to swap the manual tranny in my camaro from a 5 speed to a 6 speed? I can't find any bell housing for it or anything

    I believe I asked this same question on here a long time ago... IIRC what I was told was that you'll need a bellhousing adapter plate... a custom length input shaft... you'll need to modify the interior because shifter will sit further back in the car, and you'll need a custom driveshaft...

          to make it simple, yes it is possible..

          but unless you have extensive mods to your engine it will be HELL to drive, its about the same as starting out in 2nd gear all of the time.. the v6 doesnt make enough power to do that without slipping the clutch so bad it will need to be replaced every 30k miles.. and that is on flat ground.. hills wouldnt be very fun trying to start out unless there was some very short gears in the rear
