5 speed swap into a 97-03 gtp



complete interior is removed, includign dash,

you need, a donor car, and some welding, modifactions to the parts from the parts car..

then you need a camaro flywheel machined down


count on 40hrs or so for the swap
 
getrag 282 or 284
camaro fly wheel with longer bolts
pedal assembaly
new clutch
best to get a z34 or gp donor car
 
what would needed to be welded? i'm curious cause the only slight welding was for the pedal assembly in your thread on wbody.
 
I noticed you are saying 40+ hrs to do the swap. kinda seems like thats going the hard way. I mean you're not doing a rear wheel drive setup, can you post anything on doing the swap? pics?...what is all needed for the swap from a donor car?
 


kuntize knows his **** about the manual swaps...After watching his threads, and all the pics, info he's said, it's pretty clear..

Not to mention blowing up the tranny now..
What tranny is going in now kuntzie??

And it would be ****ing awesome if you could do a write-up of some sort, because I'd love to do it to my car....and I know others would...

sorry bout the thread jacking
 
The 5 spd was what made mine fun to drive. It was solid, too. Thought it has syncro problems initially, but it was the clutch and hydraulics
 
i only blew up the trans because of my own stupidity,

40hrs is the hard way are you kidding me? the whole interior has to get gutted and the trans and engine (engine optional but id suggest it) have to come out,

there is a write up on here i posted from another site where i made a thread (w-body.com)

edit:
Kuntzie's 01 Turbo GT 5-speed thread----- pg 10 extra special sunday delivery!!

if someone is anexious enough to copy all my posts over to here into 1 thread go ahead and do er up
 
That's pretty awesome!

I hate automatics. They always break.

The worst I've ever had happen with a manual is either needing a clutch, hydraulics, or shifter work. We did have a PT Cruiser where syncro in 5th stopped working well, and you had to count to 3 or 4 before putting into 5th, but thats the worst I've seen, and I've even road raced one for 10 years, now, and even THAT one is still working great.
 


91-93 chevy lumina, pontiac gp, and olds cutlass. I only have a 284 trans, not the other parts.

Since the thanks button has been replaced by that stupid 'like' button BS, I must quote you to thank you for your answer :D.
