94/95 auto to 5 speed conversion

[CJK44t]

I have found a good deal on an automatic 5.0L car but I really want a stick.

Whats involved with an auto to 5-speed conversion?? I changed an 89 5.0L from Auto to 5 speed but not sure about the SN95 body?

Is the tranny the same as a fox T-5? How about a 4.6L tranny?? Or is it specific to 94/95 GT's??

What about the other stuff, I assume flywheel and clutch is the same as the early cars, what about bellhousing and driveshaft?

Any floor pan mods??

Thanks!!

its pretty much a bolt on replacement. floor pan is the same, no real modifications. you need tranny, pedals, clutch, flywheel, throwout bearing, driveshaft, shifter, shifter bezel, pedal setup, clutch cable, firewall adapter, clutch adapter thingy, bell housing, clutch fork, manual tranny computer, all bolts for said parts. and i'm sure there is more i'm forgetting....but that gets you started.

you will need a 94-95 manual driveshaft, shifter bezel(interior piece). you will have to modify the tranny mount to fit the t-5.

I assume you are buying a kit, which is the easiest route. You can piece it all together but its harder to get all the right parts unless you have a doner car in your backyard.

If you are interested...I am converting my car to a c-4...I have all of those parts and I will be willing to make you a smokin deal. The transmission has just been rebuilt with tremec gears, all new synchros, shift forks, sliders, etc. 0 miles on the rebuild. Pm me if you need or want anymore details.

I did the swap a couple years ago and it took a weekend. The worst part was getting the pedals in. The input shaft for a tranny in a 94-95 is a 1/2 or 5/8" longer than a Fox and the bellhousing and clutch fork are different also. The 94-95 bells have "5.0" cast into them. The Fox set-up can be made to work (use the search function for this forum and you will find many threads). The driveshafts are the same but the yokes are different. The 94-95 automatic has some sort of dampner on the yoke. I don't know what effect this would have on drivability if used with the T-5. Also IIRC the 94-95 AODE and T-5 tranny mounts are the same but the mounting plates are different. If you use the auto plate, the T-5 is too high up.

You will also need a pilot bushing or bearing for the crank. If you want the neutral safety switch to work (good idea), there is a jumper wire in a plug hanging back behind the fuse block that should be pulled.

Who sells complete conversion kits??

 

[sage2k]

a company called www.bieberfever.com will, but its cheaper to piece it together yourself if you have time to wait to gather parts
for a cheaper price than www.bieberfever.com I was able to use mostly new pieces and upgraded parts than stock
