I have a 97 Firebird 3.8L T-5. the t-5 is toast and I have seen many t-5's on e-bay but most seem to be from v8 and v6 3rd gens. what will bolt up to my application?? I don't really care much about gear ratios. I just want to know what will physically go in to my car? what about the t-56? will it fit?

Re: t-5 apps
i asked the same question last week and never got a straight forward answer. go here for a cheap one in your area.

i was getting prices around $600 for transmissions with 60,000 plus miles on it. then i found that website and found one about an hour drives away for $450 with only 29,000 miles on it. take a look'99 Camaro Y87 M5 T-tops

Re: t-5 apps
This is a good question that no one ever seems to have a positive answer to. No the t-56 will not fir, and right now there are no simple conversion kits to make it work. It would take a custom made bellhousing at the least to have it match up.
As far as which T5 trannys are interchangable between years, I have no idea, but would love to know, since I broke 3rd gear last Sunday.Old Car = 12.679 @ 106.5 on 150 dry shot.

Re: t-5 apps
The input shafts might be different but a big problem is the spedometer.
don't older GM 5-speeds use a manual cable, while current ones use a electronic one.-Eric<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangeater82\" target=\"_blank\">2000 NBM V6 Camaro 5-speed</a> T-top <i>converted</i><br /><b>14.467@95.45mph</b> <i>$0 in mods</i><br /><i>The member formerly known as MustangEater8251</i>Comment
