I want to swap out my 700R4 auto for a manual 5speed trans. Does anyone remember of any Corvette magazines doing a swap like this which I can refer to ? Many years ago before internet I swapped out an automatic for a Saginaw 4 in my 72 Chevelle. A lot of trial and error to get it all working right that I would like to avoid this time on my 85 L98. Any information or advice for this undertaking would be great. Thanks.

What 5 speed ?

The cheap one?

Great articles to use for reference. This should go smoother than the last Chevelle swap I did. thank you

I did the T-5 swap last spring and was a fairly easy swap for the old man I am. I enjoy driving it now with the old 4+3 gone. If you go with the T-5 let me know and I can give you a few pointers.
