Is this the correct bushing for my shifter in my 1988 T5WC 5 speed transmission.
I would like to buy from Summit, since I have more parts to buy from them.
Did 2 WCT5 conversions and the ebay one looks like the one in my car.

It just didnt look right in that pic to me but it looks like that's the one.
Great Thanks John.
I would like to have one in bronze, but I can't find it in Summit.
Anyway I'm really looking forward getting my T5WC into my car.
The transmission is the last year for manuel tach drive, and the first year for WC.
It is #176 model, so it has a nice fast first gear, and a very nice 5th gear.
Also can you tell me how long the driveshaft must be, I have a driveshaft from a auto car that I will use.
It would be nice the "new" driveshaft was ready when I installed the T5 transmission.
For the most part its a direct fit and it will bolt to your bellhousing, Corvette clutch linkage and fork. Also you can use that driveshaft, just need to shorten it. Sorry I cant get under the car to measure it.
A new rear mount for the trans needs to be made and the shifter must be made to come up in the stock location if that's important to you.
Here's my rear mount, made from the old trans mount.
Made the shifter from a Ford.
Has been changed to look correct since that last pic. Same shifter, just changed the stick and added the new pattern.
This is nothing, there are TONS of good info on this conversion here on the forum. Just hit the search feature.
