Default What transmission?

I have a 1980 camaro and I think the transmission is going out. the original is still in it. Im not sure what that is, but I want a 5 speed auto. What transmission can I use? Thanks!

In a 5 speed auto I don't think there's anything that's a direct bolt in. Lots of 4 speed autos to choose from that will bolt in. A 4 spd. auto will give you the similar overdrive in 4th, just one less gear inbetween.

I'm not aware of a direct swap 5 speed automatic, but you can get a 6 speed auto from TCI: Motorator Video - TCI 6-Speed Automatic Transmission

I'd love to have one of thosee TCI 6x 6's but at $4600 it would bust my budget wide open!

But you'd probably be the only kid on your block who has one!
