What kind of transmission did a Pontiac have?
In 1958 and later years, Pontiac used the “standard” transmission interface used also by Chevy and other GM makes. So you can bolt up a later Pontiac or Chevy transmission onto an earlier Pontiac bell housing (back to 1958). For example, a ’65 Corvette “Rock Crusher” M22 4-speed will bolt up to a 58 Pontiac bell housing.
What kind of transmission does a GM T-5 have?
The 1983-92 GM T-5s that were coupled to V-8 engines have a 26-spline, 1-1/8-inch input shaft. The GM 4-cylinder and V-6 T-5s used the 3.52 through 4.03 ratios and were 1-inch, 14-spline input shafts. Later model F-Body world-class versions of the GM T-5s used the lower, 2.95 to 1 ratio gearbox and are the most sought-after for GM applications.
What kind of transmission does a Cadillac CTS use?
The 6L80 and 6L90 transmissions are used in heavy-duty GM trucks and most of the performance cars. The Sigma platform, which covers the Cadillac CTS line, uses either the 5L40/5L50 5-speed or the 6L45/6L50 6-speed automatics. The aftermarket has a vast number of custom-application GM transmissions that work great for LS swaps.
How many splines are on a GM transmission?
If you want to assemble your own parts, the key is to match the flywheel and clutch to the engine, while making sure the splines on the clutch disc match the transmission. GM transmissions use 10- and 26-spline input shafts; early manuals (before 1971) typically have 10 splines, and later units have 26 splines.

Can a T 5 transmission be swapped with a V-8?
These should not be interchanged. Late-model T-5 bellhousings used on earlier Ford V-8 engines will bolt up, but the late-model fulcrum for the fork needs to be replaced with an early-style fulcrum installed on the inside of the housing to align the throw-out bearing fork.
What was the transmission ratio on a 2.3 turbo Ford?
The 2.3 Turbo Fords used a few units that were 4.06:1. Speedometer drive gears were 6, 7 or 8 teeth, but may have to be changed, depending on engine and rear-end size in the transplant vehicle. Changing of the speedometer gear is a definite requirement when installing a transmission and V-8 unit in a 6-cylinder, and vice versa.
