T-5 trans troubles? And trying too hard

Emma's trans is weird, it feels really notchy and somehow loose at the same time. Is this just me getting used to the lack of any real shift linkage or should I start looking for a T-56.

If said T-56 were to come attached to an LS7 and some fiberglass... Anybody know anything about C5 Z06s? They are way cheaper than I would have expected and nothing says "Ive given up on being cool" like buying yourself a corvette for your 18th birthday :lol:

I thought a C5 had a transaxle? Wouldnt that render one useless to swap in? I havent a clue though, all Ive ever had is autos cept for the SRT.

Yeah, a C5 or C6 trans isn't gonna work.

You need a trans out of a GTO or F-Body.

Plus, the C5 had an LS6, the C6 got the LS7

Shows my 'vette knowledge. Wait I wonder if GTOs are as cheap as...

$20k to say "I almost have a muscle car"
$30k to say " I almost have a super car, and its a corvette who wants to sleep with me"

I feel myself balding all ready :lol:
