The trans you are talking about I believe is called a T5 and the fifth gear is an over drive but they are known for being week and if it were me I would not get it. If you are seriously looking at a 5 or 6 speed swap take a look at Richmond.

If you ordered the 305, it came with a 5 speed. If you ordered the 350, you had no choice but the 700R4 because the 5 speed wasn't strong enough. Considering the 350 only had about 245 hp, that would tell me you shouldn't even consider the 5 speed for a big block or even a healthy small block. cYa- Herb Lumpp 1966 El Camino ACES #3509 http://web.tampabay.rr.com/herbsworld/index.htm > > What kind of trannys were Camero 5 speeds?
