Can You Put a 95 Transmission in an 89 Car?
Yes, but it’s not a direct swap
It is possible to put a 95 transmission in an 89 car, but it is not a direct swap. You will need to make some modifications to the transmission and the car in order to make it work.
The first thing you need to do is to determine if the transmission from the 95 car is compatible with the engine in the 89 car. Not all transmissions are interchangeable, so you need to make sure that the one you have will work with your engine.
Once you have determined that the transmission is compatible, you need to start making the modifications to the transmission. The first thing you need to do is to remove the transmission from the 95 car. Once the transmission is removed, you need to remove the bellhousing from the transmission. The bellhousing is the part of the transmission that bolts to the engine.
Once the bellhousing is removed, you need to install the bellhousing from the 89 transmission onto the 95 transmission. The bellhousing from the 89 transmission will have the correct bolt pattern for the engine in the 89 car.
Once the bellhousing is installed, you need to install the transmission into the car. The transmission will bolt up to the engine just like the old transmission did.
Once the transmission is installed, you need to make some modifications to the car. The first thing you need to do is to modify the driveshaft. The driveshaft from the 95 car will not be the correct length for the 89 car. You will need to shorten the driveshaft or have a new one made.
Once the driveshaft is modified, you need to modify the shifter. The shifter from the 95 car will not be compatible with the transmission in the 89 car. You will need to install a shifter from an 89 car or you will need to modify the shifter from the 95 car.
Once the shifter is modified, you should be able to drive the car. You may need to make some adjustments to the transmission, such as adjusting the shift points.
Conclusion
It is possible to put a 95 transmission in an 89 car, but it is not a direct swap. You will need to make some modifications to the transmission and the car in order to make it work. If you are not comfortable making these modifications, it is best to have a professional do the work for you.
