Well the speedo gears WILL swap without a problem. Well, all I have to do is cut out a small metal tab to hold in the mechanical gear on the T-5. Also, both of the plastic gears have to same number of teeth. Pretty cool. I tool some rough measurements too. Old trans= 17" long/ T-5= 24 3/4" long. So I have to shorten the driveshaft roughly 7 3/4". I didn't think to check the output shaft splines on the T-5 and compare them to the yoke. I think that might be another problem. So, does anyone know of a good place to get a custom driveshaft, or get mine cut, around Cornelius, NC?
Also, another crazy thought. I don't want to search for an S-10 tailshaft to swap onto the Camaro one, and I REALLY don't want to cut another hole in my floor. I have a bench seat still. Do y'all think I can run a custom shifter setup that will: come up from the tranny(not the floor), go forward (maybe a little sideways), and come up through the existing hole? I have about 8" from the T-5 shifter to the hole (forward) and sideways will depend on how the tranny lines up. It's crazy I know, but it just might work. I know it'll be alot of work, but I think it would be worth it. Thanks. John
