Complete T5 swap thread - one way to skin the cat

Astro 11" clutch disk will fit on the stock v8 flywheel and inside the stock bell hsg.

Highly recommend buying an astro van 11" KIT, which includes disk, pp, and release bearing for reasons stated earlier in the thread - proper stacking height of the combo.

But generally speaking - as CRGRS pointed out, it's important to buy a clutch (kit) that was designed for the trans you're buying it for, not the vehicle or the pressure plate, etc. This ensures proper spline count, among other things.

It can be made to work by piecing together parts, but I had enough headaches already, very glad I went with a complete kit when it came to the clutch disk/pp/release bearing. Known combo that works. Just a recommendation, many ways to skin the cat, as the thread title implies! Good luck, hope the install goes smoothly.

I pulled my 92 Camaro WC T5 to put a S-10 tail housing on it. With the shift plate from the S-10 on I can't seem to get it to shift into 5th or reverse no matter how i set up the top plate forks. Any ideas?
Thanks Larry

The trans was in my 64, put on the S-10 tail housing to make room for a console (bucket seats). It is sitting on the bench & not installed because of the problem with shifting. It has been rainy & cold here so I haven't been back out to the carport.
