I want to remove my stockT5trans and install a C4auto in my 91 GT.
The car is a factory 5 spd and it has an aluminum drive shaft.

What is involved to get the auto trans mounted and connected to the drive shaft or is it a simple swap, plug and play deal?

I am in the process of doing this swap right now here is a list of what I have ordered so far:

Redneck C4 Transmission with 3500 Stall converter and transbrake
TCI small bellhousing
157tooth 50oz balanced flexplate
Perma-cool trans cooler
6an transmission cooler lines
Dipstick
TCI lighting shifter

My understanding is the factory drive shaft will fit, but I will confirm this next weekend when I actually make the swap.

somewhat simple. the driveshaft will work.

i wanna say i've heard fo issues w/ the switches though, not sure what, and not a big deal.

i don't have any experience doing it though.

That TCI shifter looks awsome i will also be makeing the switch to. Auto's win races

I am putting in a redneck c4 with 3500 stall also.
Dont forget you will need another block plate/dust cover that goes on behind the flexplate. Since the t5 block plate will leave a pretty good size gap at the bottom. I ordered one from summit that will be here tommarow then i can put my transmission in.

I was wondering about that, do you have a part number for it? Also how fast did Redneck get the transmission out to you?

If you look around there are a few good tech article floating around on the net on how to do this. Do some google searches, I'm sure that you will find something.

Let me know if your selling your manual parts as a kit or piece by piece i have a friend very interested in the t-5 parts.

I want to sell everything together when I pull it out (flywheel, centerforce clutch, trans and shifter). I'm keeping the clutch pedal in the car for now though. The trans has maybe a mile on it since I rebuilt it. The clutch was used with a new disc and throwout bearing.

I took the car apart and rebuilt everything including the trans 3 years ago and the car has been sitting in the garage ever since.
I sort of lost interest in it for a while. LOL
With the power I have I'm just going to destroy the T5. I should be able to build an automatic trans a lot cheaper than buying a Tremec and all the pieces to make it work.
Since I've decided to make the car strip onlyrunning the automatic will be more consistent any way.
