Default t5 to tr3650 swap

Will a tr3650 fit in my 94gt? If so, does anyone know what all i have to do or replace to make it fit? Tranny came out of 04gt if that matters.

Not sure actually. The 3650's were designed for mod engines, so the input shaft is different. It may have a different bolt pattern as well, and I don't think anyone makes a SBF-3650 housing. you could try calling TREMEC and asking. Really what matters is - "will it fit in the car," "is the input shaft the right length for a bellhousing that will work." "can I get a clutch that will bolt to the flywheel and fit the input shaft," and "will it fit in a SBF pilot bearing."

You could also try comparing their engineering drawings on their site and see what the specs on the 3650 are, to see if it will work.

I used to know for sure but if the 3650 is anything like the T-45 it replaced then the answer is no. I'm pretty sure the bellhousing is part of the case and can't be changed.

Nope. ^Like he said the bell housing is part of the case.

That's right, I forgot the bellhousing was integral to the transmission!

So there's your answer, nope.

i just sold a guy with a 02 a 3550. I asked him why he didn't just go back with the 3650? That way you don't have to get a new bellhousing. He replied, "because they are so ****ing ****ty."

so you may not be out that bad anyways.
