The best T5 for our needs are from early Chevrolet S10 trucks due to their mechanical drive speedometers, I do believe all S10 shifters are near the transmission case and clear stock bench seats. Not the case with Camaro T5s. Best gear ratios depend, engine, tire size, final drive ratio...all factor into determining the best T5 for a given application. From my thin T5 understanding they were used in many applications, Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaro, Jeeps, Jaguars, Isuzus, Nissans and others in the world market. One commonly referenced ID chart
is here. Some do say it's not 100 percent accurate.
All the above said, my best suggestion is visit Stovebolt member Lugnutz site and you'll likely find answers to any T5 questions as well as great how-to info. Also the 'Bolt has T5 info in the Tech Tips section and tons of reading via the search function.
Good Luck,
