Budget LS 5spd 6spd trans options - interchangeability keeping a swap affordable

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Figuring out the best combo to (obviously) run a manual trans in the Beretta RWD LS swap. A T56 is a much nicer option than other 5spds, but also spendy. I have a free NV3500 that I can run with a combination of LS and SBC parts. Check dimensions of a short input shaft LT1 T56 to see if it will work with the truck pilot bearing in the 4.8 crank.

    When I mocked this one up everything was fine. Was the crank different depending on trans from the factory? Cause the 4.8 came out of an auto truck.

    With all of your measurements, how does a T-56 compare in length to a 4L60E? I’m not worried about a drive shaft, but more curious about the mounting options on an ‘03 GMC.

    Depending on how hard to drive and how much power you make, a T5 might survive. But the nv3500 I tried in my Beretta was just way too short for the shifter position. T56 is probably your best option. That's what I ended up doing in my Beretta

    I actually have a video about this coming out as soon as I get one more measurement.... But. The factory bolted up nv3500s and nv4500s in 2wd and 4wd, so you know they'll fit. I have a zf6 in my truck, that according to my measurements will also work with an LS, and I'm putting an sm465 on a 5.3 for my blazer soon. Just about anything SBC or LS or BBC or Dmax bellhousing bolt pattern can work.

    If you do nv3500 or nv4500 5spd it will be pretty much a direct swap. You'll need a 32 spline transfer case though... Manuals and 2500s got the same tcase. 1500 autos are 27 spline. Pedals obviously and a 5spd tune would be smart. You also have to rewire the neutral safety switch

    @GEARHEADdezign what about a saginaw 4 speed? I know where to find both for a reasonable price. Any muncie near me people want twice the price just for the trans without bell housing or shifter and linkage. Then I'm doing the mods for a clutch peddle and so on...I'd probably be in it for 1500 bucks doing a muncie swap. Nearly half what I paid for the car. My th350 is slipping in and out of 3rd though.
