i got this 93 camaro z28... its nice but i dont like automatic... so i'm thinking of converting it to a stick ****... my question is... what do i do?? what kind of tranny should i get, clutch, n pedal?? n any ideas how much it costs??? thats...

 

i did the conversion on my ls1 camaro, after it was all said and done i spent about 1300, youll need a t56 tranny, unless your putting big power down i would just get a stock clutch, and youll need to get a new rearend, i know on mine i had 273's and i changed to the normal 342's for a 6 speed. just my .02..

so i need a t56 tranny, clutch, pedal, n what kind of shifter?? n u think it'll cost me under 1500 bucks?? is that just the parts or does that include labor??

 

my friend and i put the tranny in ourselves, so i wouldnt know how much labor would be...but i would be willing to bet it would be right around 1500...i put a b&m short throw shifter in mine, but search around and find out what you would want to get...

$1500 is way on the cheap end. The best bet is to find a person willing to swap, drag race guys tend to favor the auto, so maybe you can work out a deal.

 

it may be cheep, i dunno, when i bought my tranny i got it off ebay for 600 with 50k on it, and i bought a brand new zo6 clutch on ebay for 300, and my rearend for 400, so i guess i just found some really good deals...they are out there, you just gotta be searchin all through ebay or the forums, etc..

WILL ANY T56 WORK?? OR JUST FOR CAMAROS OR TUNDERBIRDS??

 

any will work from a camaro or firebird, but make sure you get the right year...93-97, 98-2002, if im not mistaken i think the bellhousing bolts are a little different in those years
