Default Borg warner t-10

Need some help guys. I converted my 80 vette from a auto to stick about 4 years ago but put a week trans in (t5) just bought. A t-10 but do not have a clue of what clutch or or flywheel needed. It is a fine spline. Any help would be great. Sir of case has 13-04-065-904

When you installed your T5, did you get rid of the 20 degree tilt by using a standard chevy bell housing? If so, all you need to do is buy a clutch disk with the fine splines and reuse all the old parts. Was it a world class T5? They hold together reasonably well behind a small block as long as you treat it with respect and don't powershift from 2nd to 3rd. You may miss that overdrive...

I did use a sbc housing. The trans does well now but thought the t-10 would be a upgrade and your right i would miss the 5th gear. Unfortunately I believe it is a non world class. I'm have trouble finding one locally.

In that case, all you should need is the new clutch disc. However, if I remember correctly, when I installed my T5, I had to have my driveshaft shortened. So double check the distance from the the front of the trans to the rear spline shaft on each trans to see if they are the same length. Also, you'll need a stock rear trans mount. Good luck

Are you running a z-bar or hydronic shaft setup?
