[1TRIKGT]

Im parting out my 88' and I have a guy that wants to convert his auto to a 5-speed and buy my parts, but I wunna make sure that im not missing anything in my list so whats all needed to do the conversion?

- T5 transmission
- Tranny crossmember
- Bell housing + clutch fork
- Flywheel
- Clutch/pusherplate
- Block plate
- Clutch cable
- Pedal assembly
- Speedometer cable (not sure)

I don't remember if the driveshaft is of the same length but I think it is if his AOD has an 8.8 and if your T5 car also has an 8.8...

If you want to get picky I think the gas pedal isn't the same on a 5-speed car...

Well, there's the basics.....tranny, clutch, clutch cable, crossmember. The driveshafts are the same. The trans to engine index plate is different, there is a wiring harness for the reverse lights that's different and the biggest pain in the ass is the pedals. Oh yeah.....you have do a little magic under the dash to rig up the thing that keeps the car from starting if the clutch is not depressed....this may be a plug in sort of thing. I cant think of anything else.....transmount maybe?

They all have this, unless you remove it of course.

You'll find the wires on the right with connectors connected to a loom. Just remove the loom and plug the wires to the pedal assembly and voila Oh and unplug the wires from the AOD and plug into the T5, the T5 harness will switch the backup lights and bypass the neutral safety switch.

Check the sheet metal on the hump, you need to cut it a bit for the swap.

Or check the VIN code, maybe that will say?
