I think the way the slave bolts up and works is one of the reasons. I forget, haven't look at a T5 bell housing in like 7 years.

LT1's have a pull-style clutch

That is for a t10, right? Will that work with a T5?

The '83 bellhousing is for mech. linkage with the T5. 1982s had the mech. linkage with a T10.

cantm use a t56 shifter for a t5 the t56 shifter is longer becuz it goes on to a 6 speed.
