3.8 5 speed in a 91 5.0 info please
i have swapped several transmissions , plus rebuilt more than that. so i am no stranger to the t5.my question is somethin i have never done.will a 3.8 v6 5 speed and bellhousing fit in a 91 lx 5.0 ,the main question is i want to use the 3.8 bellhousing cause i dont wanna change the input shaft to go with the normal 5.0 bellhousing and i dont have a 94-95 5.0 bellhousing. any help would be greatly appreciated; i believe everything is correct and i will have no issues but i didnt figure it would hurt to ask!thanks again>

I think the bell housings are the same. Never tried it so I'm shooting in the dark. Along time ago I was told they would just swap right in but I never tried it. If it's not the same just use a 94 or 95 bell housing with the 3.8 trans.

94-95 3.8 t5 will bolt right up. Use the sn95 bellhousing to acommodate the longer inputshaft. I believe you will need a ds spacer though.

I have a co-worker doing the same mod. What is different in the V-6 bellhousing since it bolts right up.
The V-6 uses the same size flywheel/clutch setup. So everything should work without using the sn95 bell housing, correct?

I think you have to use the DS spacer when you put a fox T5 into a 94 or 95 not the other way around.

No, the V6 uses an 11" clutch setup.

all 3.8 from 95 up used 11 inch clutch with 164 tooth flywheel.you can use a truck flywheel and truck clutch setup from 87 up 2wd. so this is the way i will go!
