Just wondering...why c4? aod can handle just as much and will get you better MPGs.

It bolts up i know that.

Shouldnt be a big problem make sure the bellhousing matchs the year of the T-5. Earlier v-8 t-5 is shorter than the 3.8 and 94-95 v8 t-5s. Your best bet would be to find a 3.8 5 speed at the yard and pull the pedel assy cable and the flywheel back. I would get the trans x memeber also. I think the hardest part would be swaping the pedels. The rest is remove trans install trans. dont forget the pilot bushing in the crank.

I have a 3.8 aod sittin in my yard! I would give it to ya but it is not mine. If ya want it let me know and i can call the owner. i am positive it would be cheap!

I think he wants to replace the t-5 with a c4?
