Budget LS 5spd 6spd trans options - interchangeability keeping a swap affordable

Figuring out the best combo to (obviously) run a manual trans in the Beretta RWD LS swap. A T56 is a much nicer option than other 5spds, but also spendy. I have a free NV3500 that I can run with a combination of LS and SBC parts. Check dimensions of a short input shaft LT1 T56 to see if it will work with the truck pilot bearing in the 4.8 crank.

Thanks for the info

This video really helped me out in so many ways thank you did you ever get it all together and did it work?

@GEARHEADdezign 2 месяца назад

Nv3500 with SBC clutch on LS works

@LC-fl3zm 2 месяца назад

I got a LS with a LT1 t56 saw your other video converting it to work to a LS motor thanks

@diduck6878 2 года назад

The NV3500 recipe is the same as the factory did 02 and newer pick-up 4.8/NV3500 combo

@GEARHEADdezign 2 года назад

This engine is a 2000. But I think rockauto showed a manual available with the 4.8 all the way back to 99?

@diduck6878 2 года назад

@@GEARHEADdezign spacing on 99/2000 will be different. 99/2000 2500 trucks originally bolted to 4L80E has an extended crank. The same spacing as the old small block

@GEARHEADdezign 2 года назад

When I mocked this one up everything was fine. Was the crank different depending on trans from the factory? Cause the 4.8 came out of an auto truck.

My 5.3 in my 2012 Silverado is about to go out. Want to start building a new motor and trans. What what manual trans can I pair with an L94?

@GEARHEADdezign 2 года назад

I actually have a video about this coming out as soon as I get one more measurement.... But. The factory bolted up nv3500s and nv4500s in 2wd and 4wd, so you know they'll fit. I have a zf6 in my truck, that according to my measurements will also work with an LS, and I'm putting an sm465 on a 5.3 for my blazer soon. Just about anything SBC or LS or BBC or Dmax bellhousing bolt pattern can work.

@crank1422 2 года назад

With all of your measurements, how does a T-56 compare in length to a 4L60E? I’m not worried about a drive shaft, but more curious about the mounting options on an ‘03 GMC.

@GEARHEADdezign 2 года назад

I'm pretty sure I've read the early t56 is a direct swap lengthwise for a 700r4, so should be same as 4l60e

@engineerisengihere44 Год назад

Thinking of 5 or 6 speed swapping a 1995 impala ss. I know the lt1 t56 is a direct bolt on (based on what ive read on forums), but those are pretty expensive. What would you recommend?

@GEARHEADdezign Год назад

Depending on how hard to drive and how much power you make, a T5 might survive. But the nv3500 I tried in my Beretta was just way too short for the shifter position. T56 is probably your best option. That's what I ended up doing in my Beretta

@engineerisengihere44 Год назад

@@GEARHEADdezign im expecting to be around the 400hp mark with the lt1. Only issue im having is finding a t56 that doesnt cost an arm and a leg.

@GEARHEADdezign Год назад

Yeah 400hp is getting to the point a T5 is gonna be a liability. I pounded the snot out of my t56 at about 420hp and it held up great

Would a 2011 Camaro V6 TR6060 bolt up to a 2003 5.3L? I had read on a forum that the 2010-2011 V6 TR6060's should bolt up but i want to be sure before I spend the day at the junkyard for nothing.

2005 chevy 1500 excab 4x4 5.3 4l60e. I want to swap to a manual trans. Either 5-6spd. What do I need for my swap? Parts list. Programming for my electric throttle body? Cross members? The whole list. Thank you.

@GEARHEADdezign 2 года назад

If you do nv3500 or nv4500 5spd it will be pretty much a direct swap. You'll need a 32 spline transfer case though... Manuals and 2500s got the same tcase. 1500 autos are 27 spline. Pedals obviously and a 5spd tune would be smart. You also have to rewire the neutral safety switch

What slave cylinder did you go with

@GEARHEADdezign 2 года назад

I bought the nv3500 truck slave cylinder. 2000 Silverado). But LS1 Fbody would also work

@Ssmontecarlo53 2 года назад

So it was going to cost some money to use the lt1 t56 and had to go into the transmission correct?

@GEARHEADdezign 2 года назад

Yes, to use an LT1 T56 with an LS you have to cover the input shaft, front cover and bell housing to the LS1 style. Which funny enough... I'm doing right now. 🤣

@stevenbelue5496 9 месяцев назад

@@GEARHEADdezign did you ever try the smaller 10" flywheel like the lt1 came with? I know the LS flywheel is an inch bigger than the LT flywheel. Looks like it would work if the input shaft length works with the truck bushing.

The lt1 is 11" clutch with 153 tooth flywheel and BBC is usually 12" clutch with 168. The lt1 bell won't fit over the 168 flywheel

@GEARHEADdezign 7 месяцев назад

You could convert the t56 to ls1 style (I have a video on that) and use a regular BBC bell and clutch with adapter plate for the t56

It should bolt up fine and work. They're not super strong but it would work for a cruiser

@cameronf1460 Месяц назад

@GEARHEADdezign what about a saginaw 4 speed? I know where to find both for a reasonable price. Any muncie near me people want twice the price just for the trans without bell housing or shifter and linkage. Then I'm doing the mods for a clutch peddle and so on...I'd probably be in it for 1500 bucks doing a muncie swap. Nearly half what I paid for the car. My th350 is slipping in and out of 3rd though.

Saginaw was factory on some 2F. The Borg Warner T10 is another option
