I thought I'd try a 2004r behind my 62/261 truck, but I returned the trans, it was rotten inside (water). I looked iver that project and decided to simplify things a little. Now I have a line in a 93 t5 (1352-216)and with my 3.38 rear and a .86 OD. it sould be pretty good. Am I wrong in assuming that this trans will only require the same massaging as the 83-87 t5's? Its reasonable enough in price and it's a WC? so I can afford to get a speed adapter for it. This will also cure the error created when I went from 3.90 to 3.38. What do you think? | | |

If you use a later tranny you would have to use aftermarket guages or spend $200 - $300 dollars for an electrical-mechanical conversion unit.
