i have been considering this swap in my 1994 Z-28. i have researched it a bit, i got some info off a web site provided by year one on how to do the swap and what i would need. but i am a little nervous about ripping apart the car, getting half way through the swap and finding out that it was a lot harder than i thought/was told and not really worth the hassle.

what is everyone's opinion about this.

Just put the manual in. Even if its a pain in the *** when all is said and done it will be worth it. I had 3 camaros 94,95,and my recent 97. My 97 has the 6 speed and its so much better then my other two camaros. More fun and feels much faster.

 

thanks. that is the way it looks like it will go. do you think that GM will stop producing any of the '94 stuff any time soon.

Finished my A4 to T56 swap a week ago on my '97 Z28 and love it. Just take your time and don't rush anything....It's worth it in the end!!!

 

It took us about 7 work hours. It isn't bad at all.

if you do the swap let me know how it goes and how you like it. I've slowly been growing the urge to swap to a t56, my car is just for me to play, not a drag car, so Im not worried about et's. wont sell it b/c its the 1st car i've owned, worked hard for it. but sometimes when Im driving around, I have my hand on the shifter wishing i could rip thru the gears, but of course i can't. I know my A4 is starting to slip its 2-3 shifts a bit. so when it goes I'm thinking about the t-56 swap.

 

When you plan on doing this and what are you going to do with your A4? I want to swap from T56 to A4.....

i thought i was the only one that did that. i have gotten to the point where i know exactly when the car is gonna shift with any amount of throttle, and i push the button.

 

where did you guys get your stuff to do the swap?

That's where I bought my stuff. It comes with everything...console piece, driveshaft, stock clutch....ya know. They are just south of birmingham.

Lets say your A4 went out on you..and you need a new tran., would switching to an m6 be cheaper then gettin the new a4? how much is it running anyway to switch?

 

You can get a decent LT1Dave rebuild for $850 or so for your A4. Or get a T56 conversion setup for ~$1500.

 

I'm in the process of building my car into an auto froom a t-56. I am sellin the whole package with a used centerforce clutch, flywheel, hurst shifter, stock shifter, slave cylinder, the whole nine yards. I'll even include new synchro rings( my mechanic told me I will need them eventually). It's out of my 94 Z28. If you need anymore info e-mail me at zmanlt1@aol.com . If I'm leaving something out of this package that you think should be included let me know. I'm asking 1200 plus shipping, or b/o.
