I know the T-5 is the answer. Which one? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 106 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 106 | If you have a floor shift, the T5 may be the quick answer. If you have three on the tree, I would find and install the three speed overdrive.

The 88 up used an elec. speedo & your cable will not hook up to it. There is a tag on one of the rear houseing bolts that ID it. In the left lower corner is the number you want. It starts with 1352. Take that number & bring up a chart on the internet & it will give you the ratio's. You want at least .076. .072 is better. .086 is not worth putting in unless you have a high rear end or very sluggish engine. 1352-145 is the most common. It comes on 85-86 S-10s & has good ratio's.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

I think it just donated its transmission for a good cause. I hate to lose the column shifter though. Thanks for the information. | | |
