I'm not looking to pull the trans just yet, but if I do, I'd like to know what's available. I'm know there's no one size fits all, I just want better drivability if possible. I found out my trans is a bit of a Frankenstein. The main case was changed because of a large crack to a 1352-065-913 which is a 83-87 NWC Camaro/Firebird, but it was machined to accept the WC gear set that it came with. Tail is from a 93+ WC S-10
and the top cover is a 86-93 plain style.Thank you.

Joe....This is an old site that is about as complete and easy to read as I've ever found. Link below!

You say that your main case takes WC gears. Remember, Ford or GM gear sets will fit in any T5 case. I think you need the 2.95 1st gear "CLOSE RATIO" gear set. Considering what you say about 5th gear having a hard time of it, you probably need to stick with a "0.73" or even an "0.80" 5th gear. Look at tag numbers 1352-195, and 1352-225 in this list. The #195 Camaro gear set will have a 27-spline output shaft. The #225 Ford gear set will have a 28-spline output shaft. And, considering which OD ratio you decide on, and the possibility that your drive shaft yoke is the other spline count, you should be able to run the Chevy gear set on the Ford Main shaft, or visa versa!
My opinion....FWIW....2.95 1st gear set, 0.80 OD, and a 3.50-ish rear gear! Does this help ya any? DD
