ZF transmission????

[87T/A]

im back with another tranny question, the search continues......

i have a 91 vette 350 in my 87 trans am.
Can I put a ZF 6 speed in my car, and with what other parts?

Should be able to bolt one up using the Corvette parts. But the ZF is a relatively limited production trans, with no real benefits over the more widely available Borg-Warner (now Tremec) T56 6-speed. Might be another option you could consider.

Yea, i cant seem to find any worldclass t-5s with a descent price, so ive been looking for six speeds since i have to spend the money anyway

Do you know how long the job takes to convert from auto to t-56? i hear its a couple days

I dont know much about the 3rd Gens. Keisler makes a T56 specifically for the 3rd Gen. You would need the flywheel, a complete clutch assembly and actutor linkage (hydraulic?), a pedal set (probably the hardest part of the install on a 4th Gen) and maybe some sort of console change. Finally, you would need to adjust the speedo processor (if its electronic) because the automatics and manuals have a different pulse count for the electronic speedos.
