Anyone know what type of 5 speed came in V6 camaro?

T-5.

Anyone else have confirmation on this? About to buy it. In the market for a T-5 WC

According to this v6 site, the T5 is used with the L36 (3.8) engine from 1996 forward.

Thanks guys, great info!

Well......if anyone is curious......It is a t-5 WC but it won't bolt up to a V8 bell housing!

Hmm, I think I could have told you that while it is a T-5, it's not the same as a V8 3rd gen T-5.

The bolt pattern is different on the trans case? I've used 3rd gen V6 WC T5s before in a pinch. You just need a V6 clutch disc (1" diameter x 14 spline input shaft on the V6 trans) and use the rest of your V8 parts.

It wouldn't be a good drag race setup, but for road racing, it isn't half bad. The V6 trans has a low first gear, but who uses 1st anyway? The biggest benefit is a stock .76 5th gear.

Who knows what the torque rating is though...

Yeah.....I had no idea. Should have provided more information for application and intent. oh well.....the search continues.

I liked the T5 in my 1996 3.8 better than the T56 in my 2001 Z28. I know the 3.8 bellhousing won't work, but I thought they would bolt to an LT1 bellhousing. Maybe not. I'd bet against it fitting an LS1 bellhousing.

Is the 3.8 T-5 really a "World Class" version? Per the Summit Racing catalog, even the Ford Racing Super Duty World Class is only rated to 330 lb-ft, which is marginal for a stock LS1, and probably marginal for an LT1 with headers and a tune. A regular T-5 is only rated for 300.

World Class really just denotes roller bearings vs. bronze bushings (non-WC). Everything has been WC since... 1987 or 1988, IIRC. The other part of the torque rating is based on the gear ratio.

rsmith350: Can you snap a pic of the bolt pattern on the 3.8 T5 trans? I'm interested to see what's different.

Well the reason i was asking was a guy had one for sale. So armed with the information you guys provided I never purchased it. Sorry.
