Re: Which manual tranny did you choose for your LS swap?

Yeah that dimensional difference does make things a bit more difficult. I've seen some swaps use a spacer, others a special flywheel or flexplate. Either way you need the longer bolts that are only available from GM.

Question. Just to verify, by 6036, you mean the QuickTime bellhousing correct? This is actually the trans, bellhousing and clutch combo I was looking into for my swap.
