Hey guys and gals, this is the first in a (hopefully) weekly segment I’m gonna call “Tech Tuesday” where I find a really helpful technical thread, how-to, or otherwise useful set of information from GBodyForum.com.
This week, its all the info you’ll probably ever need to put pretty much any kind of manual transmission into your G-Body. We know that some G-Body cars came from the factory with 3-speed, 4-speed, and yes even 5-speed manuals… ONLY from ’78 to ’80, and possibly into ’81. After that it was automatics ONLY.
Here’s the link straight away:
https://gbodyforum.com/threads/equipping-a-g-body-with-a-manual-trans.15430/
You’ll find lists of parts, with part numbers. Lots of images, (Although some have gone missing over time!) and lots of other data, install tips, and comments from other G-Body stick owners.
Be aware that the initial thread is quite old, and some of the info, prices, links, and other info is quite possibly out of date.
