C5 tranny
My uncle has a C5 (M6), not sure what year, if it matters, thats needs a tranny. My question is, are the trannies the same as the f-bodies? (the hydrolics too??)And what would be a good route?? Another T56? any difference between the Borg-Werner or the Tremec?? (i think tremec makes them all anyway)
Thanks, Andrew

The F-body and Corvette transmissions are not interchangeable at all. The F-body has the transmission mounted in the traditional location, directly behind the engine, while the Corvette's transmission is mounted in the rear of the car, where the differential usually would be. Because of this, its actually considered a transaxle.
As for what transmission to get, you would need to get another Corvette spec T56. No other transmission is going to fit that car, because it its unique transaxle design.
Tremec bought out Borg Warner, so the transmissions are essentially the same. Early models were stamped Borg Warner on the side, newer T56's are stamped Tremec.
