I',m changing out a 1995 4cyl S-10 5spd this week. It just broke going down the road, little old lady truck also. Marbles in the case. JVL or anybody local have a use for it for any reason or it goes in the scrap pile. Wrecker didn't need the cores.

Gene,
Hoche-Micheal Mong, Mongie hoochie Mike, Mikie Kootchie Fung whatever he calls himself nowadays wants to go insane and build a Volvo PV, and their stick comes out of the box like the S-10 thang (and is about 2 1/2 feet long)
It might be nice if we asked him.

The shifter is in the front of the tail housing.

Yeah, the T5 I gave Kevin Hawkinson was a T10 version. I won him a gearkit for like $101 and when he was doing the contact , the guy said he was selling the V8 gearkit cause he was doing a pick up, so kevvie being the Clever-trevor he is asked if the guy needed the tailshaft housing for the S10 and swapped him the one for the V8 GM box is the soooooper bitchin-est---comes right where it should on both Xratties and 240 volvos..
The S10 SHIFTER I'd love to get.....

A PV, that hardly moves the needle on the insane-o-meterTM. My new LeMons car is a '74 MGB-GT with a '47 Ford Flathead V8 swapped in. There just happens to be an off the shelf adapter for the GM T-5 to the 59AB flathead block.

"Oh you fookin' maroon" is what I usually call myself, but yeah, I was looking for one of the WC T5's out of an '93+ S10 cuz they have the shifter way up front and I like a good long-throw shifter for the precision feel. And I think it'll be only an inch or two off the stock PV location. Mostly I just wanted the shafts and tailhousing though - the gearing's all wrong in the truck.

All yours Michel. I'm fairly certain that the shifter is to far forward for the MGB-GT.

Hey Gene, The gearing in that particular T5 is poor for rally use but I can suggest that it may find a taker on the Opel GT forums; it's a popular swap for a street GT becasue of the shifter location. Easy to post in the classified area of www.opelgt.com in the forums. But if it is broke........

eat project Tim. I've a couple of customers with flathead streetrods. Triple carbs, Offy heads, big cams...just plain goofy winking smiley


Trans still in truck but feels like maybe a slider broke. It has gears but grids and is still in gear in neutral. No warning.

We'll see what Michel or Timm want to do. Then I'll toss it if no one can use. I heard that once you start hanging around Opel forums you stop showering and hang around school crossings and playgrounds..drinking smiley

That's only Old-pile GT owners.
Kinda like Slaab Sonett owners. Much as I lurv the 96, those Sonetts leave me cold, but their owners love 'em (since they don't ever work on them or drive 'em)
