And I heard a couple of people tell me that the 2.3 Tranny will work, with the change of a bearring?
Please refer to my post in the thread "Will it Fit?" in this section of the forum...
The 2.3L Tranny (T5 5 Speed) will only put up with some abuse. now you have a couple of choices...
1) Go and Get a V6 T5 From an SN95 at the JY...
-Pros: Decent Reliability in the gearbox, and made to take the power
-Cons: Bellhousing, Input Shaft and bearing retainer MUST BE SWAPPED with a 5.0L Fox T5 Tranny to work correctly as the Input Shafts and Bells used in the 3.8L or 5.0L SN95's are Longer due to the body length and shifter location in floor of SN95 Cars.
2) Go ant Get a V6 or V8 T5 from a Fox Chassis Car at the JY...
-Pros: Direct Compatability with the 5.0L Motor used in the Fox Chassis Cars (Obviously) and decent Reliability if you get a good one.
-Cons: Best to use a 5.0L T5 Driveshaft with this setup... (or either for that fact, LOL) due to the not so different Differences in the 2.3L to 5.0L T5 Driveshafts (if you understand that, LOL)
NOTE: DO NOT COBBLE YOUR CAR TOGETHER AS ALTHOUGH I DO NOT OWN A 5.0L OR A CONVERSION 5.0L I HAVE HAD MY HANDS UNDER THE HOOD OF A FEW REAL PEICES OF WORK. AND HELPED CORRECT THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS.
DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!! :sterb:
