t-5 linkage pedals

[Daniel Doerksen]

did any v8 t-5 transmissions come with a non hydrolic clutch... its the difference of me putting a shift kit in or going with a standard again lol

[Jessev]

then ill say YES!

[Daniel Doerksen]

wishful thinking doesnt really help my situation

[350vert]

im sure u could do cable, mustang does on their t-5

[79 Z28]

or you can just put in the hyd. line

[automan]

82 83 came with mechanical clutch

[Daniel Doerksen]

yea... are you being sarcastic...
thats what this thread is about...
82-83 didnt come with a t-5 it came with a t-10 which is a POS 4speed

[automan]

then explain why i have a mechanical clutch bell housing from an 83 with t5
also look at lakewood scatershield for 82 83 camaro comes with dual bolt patern for t5 and t10 or muncie
i think 83 was the first year for the t5 so a mechanical clutch bellhousing will be hard to find

[Daniel Doerksen]

I CANT EXPLAIN IT... BECAUSE I KNEW BEFORE HAND THAT THE T10 ONLY CAME IN THE 1982!!!
AND THAT I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN 83 84, TILL THE CHANGE UP IN 1985... GEEZ
thats good to hear tho, one should never assume i guess...
whats the difference between the mechancialk bellhousing from a t10 to t-5?
t-5s are tilted right t10s arnt?... im thinking if thats it ill just hook shit up using a t10 bellhousing and wry about the shifter the next day ::)

[automan]

yes the t5 is tilted not sure if it would even bolt in considering the trans mount would change as well plus the shifter would be cranked over

[Daniel Doerksen]

uhm hmm... the trans mount wouldnt be a prblem for me... the shifter would be a little more difficult to get it to articulate nicely through gears

[automan]

if your converting and need a bell housing i do have a lakewood scatershield
might be better to go hydrolic clutch though

[Daniel Doerksen]

is the scatter shield for a t-5 with linkage style clutch.?? if so how much u want?

[automan]

ya its for linkage style clutch
it has dual pattern so it fits t5 and muncie
if you want it you can have it for $100,,cost me $450 a few years back

[Daniel Doerksen]

sounds good, ill be msging u on it once i find a transmission

[automan]

i might have a deal for ya then
i do have a t5 available

[Daniel Doerksen]

t-5 or wct-5... i need wc, because its needs to be able to support 300ish hp

[automan]

ya i know what you mean ,i would'nt mind a wct5 myself i currently run a nonwc behind a 327
but if your interseted you could have the t5 with stock shifter and scatershiled for $250

[Daniel Doerksen]

pretty sure the nonwct-5 for the v8 is the same t-5 for the v6

[automan]

i think all they change is the input shaft
well its here if you decide you want it

[Daniel Doerksen]

it would make sense for the smalller clutch

[Ace_holio]

t5-v6 and t5-v8 are two different tranny's. i dont see why you wouldnt want a hydroulic clutch... you never have to adjust it and its smoother under your foot. if your worried about the install i can help. im in the middle of my second auto to t5 swapp.

[Daniel Doerksen]

i wouldve done the hydro clutch swap, but i forgot to take out the complete assembly before i sent my parts car off, seems easyier because the mech. is already in the car

[Ace_holio]

seems easier to contuni=ually adjust it and watch it wear out faster and have a more difficult replacement job? or to just dcut one hole this time and never worry again?

[Daniel Doerksen]

well you mechanical isnt worse if you know what your doing, only reason i would do it is for a shorter throw... if i come across pedals for cheap id be more inclined
