5-spd conversion
« on: April 27, 2004, 06:07:17 PM »
I have a t-5 from an 86 turbo coupe complete with bellhousing.  Since the clutch just went out on my 79 wagon, I was wondering if anyone has done the 5-spd swap on a stock 2.3L?  What are the difficult parts of the conversion?  My major concern is the transmission tunnel opening.  Does it have to be modified on a stock 2.3L car or not?  I have heard both yes and no.  I know on my 73, the opening had to be modifed but also the car was not originally equiped with a 2.3.  My friend fabricated the motor mounts so I am not surprised that the shifter did not align 100%.  Any comments would be appreciated.
