Swapping A MANUAL TRANSMISSION Into My Tuned Port Injected Monte Carlo SS!

[@Anthony18723]

There was actually a factory manual Monte Carlo SS, but it was only available for the Mexican market (1984 only) in very limited numbers. If I remember correctly it was a 350 with a 4 speed combo. Also it had a Grand Prix dashboard.

[@mastershake5363]

They are hard to find in good condition, not to mention expensive, wish to find one for sale

[@mesnlokz3335]

I’m pretty sure it was a 454 Manuel

[@Ricky-manic]

​@@mesnlokz3335 no 350 small block with a 4 speed saginaw

[@houseofno]

Thank you for "shifting" this idea into this deserving classic. Couldn't resist the pun. Thanks Kyle!

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Awesome Manual Transmission swap in a Monte Carlo bro

[@CS-oe8og]

You should be very proud of your work! Very clean and professional, great job!

[@alexcalderon7759]

Love that you are putting a manual on this car!!!!

[@azadvartan8259]

You always put alot of love and passion and hard work into ur builds and i really appreciate it. Thank you 🙏 may god bless you and your family

[@saabkyle04]

I really appreciate that buddy, thank you!

[@thegage1984]

And then he sells them like why put it all that effort

[@melissadunagan6596]

A tpi engine with a 5 speed manual trans is a very fun ride.

[@saabkyle04]

Oh yes!

[@robertmercer5759]

When that body style first came out they was offered with a 4speed an 3speed the v6 had one to

[@wellby5000]

In 1990 i found and bought a 80 malibu wagon with a 3 speed from the factory and a 2 door with a 4 speed all from the factory like that.

[@melissadunagan6596]

The El Camino also had 3 and 4 speed manual trans in them.

[@CS-oe8og]

The Monte SS could only be had with an awfulmatic. But, yes earlier models, non SS coupes could be opted with a manual.

[@robertlombardi2228]

Kyle- great job and content.

[@thelarsongarage]

I used to have an 88 SS, was thinking about finding another one and came across your channel. I like what you've done with the car and manual swapping will make it like a totally different car! Nice work!

[@crazypainter56]

nothing like a manual trans-------!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@High-Overlord-Pugula]

a 80s monte carlo ss is my dream car, not sure I'll ever afford one but I'll keep the dream alive

[@kmas8229]

Installing a short-shifter next? Got a Pro 5.0 on the NWC-T5 in my Iroc, bolts right in and is cheap compared to other shifters. Made rowing through the gears bliss.

[@beetleworks738]

That Monte Carlo is definitely a one of a kind.

[@buickspencer02]

hows the chevelle coming along

[@SJSharkWannabe]

20:47 A+ on the burnout, buddy!

[@jonstapleton76]

Probably picked up 20 to 30 HP to the rear wheels with that swap!

[@luizbruno2010]

Congrats, very nice project

[@alexcalderon7759]

Wanted to do this so bad to my 73 Monte Carlo

[@brando7655]

You got the monte, the Camaro, I think it’s time for a foxbody now!

[@123lenny135]

Love the swap! Curious. 3.73 with that T5. What sort of RPMs you running on the freeway?

[@Teamchevy001]

Nice upgrade Kyle!! Dave

[@tucksmith8300]

Awesome job Kyle

[@eduardofranco1794]

The monte Carlo was offered with a Manual transmission in México... good project car waiting for what the plans are for the camaro big third gen fan here

[@dlee6985]

Great job! Looks great, sounds great and looks like a blast to drive!

[@bbullock41617]

Any videos on the Chevelle planned?

[@johnmaas373]

Love the car! I put a t5 in my 1980 camaro and haven't figured out Wiring up the reverse lights. How did u do it?

[@delnuckolls5378]

Nice Monte Carlo! Thanks for the information and Video. Be Nice if Recall Exact Length Drive Shaft is From End to End after Shortened for the Manual 5 Speed! Did U Buy The World Class T5 transmission Rebuilt, New or Something, Cost!?? Thanks 💪😎

[@6252e]

Dude!! Too cool. Love it.

[@79tazman]

What are you going to do to the big piece of carpet you cut out in order to install the shiftier

[@stevefranklin9920]

What would have caused the excessive pressure in the TH200 for it to blow the front seal?

[@icurt06]

Good job Kyle!

[@crazypainter56]

what i shoulda done to my 2001 Trans AM

[@UnorthodoxMasterOfGames]

Manual for the win! Do you still have your red Viper?? When the last generation came out in 2013, I was in high school, so naturally it became my dream car haha. I have driven a Camaro SS and 2 Shelby GT350s so I'm working my way up to a Viper one day to at least test drive!

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video kyle now were talking yaaah i am hands down a manuel fella love it lol thumbs up and shared

[@doug4760]

They did offer manual in those in Mexico. We didn't get them.

[@RobertKohut]

Cool conversion... 🙂

[@byronherndon533]

Do you think that Monte Carlo’s can be a dodge charger hellcat?

[@workmanwheels2664]

Where did you get the lower shift boot? Just did a t5 swap in my 71 Monte and still need to get a lower shift boot

[@sambarnes9520]

For the past 30 years I always wanted to have a TPI Monte SS, the way it should have been from the factory. To top it all off yours has a manual….can’t ask for any cooler of an 80 s project.

[@justinunger38]

do you think you''re going to repaint this car

[@carllattimore8227]

Did you just order that driveshaft...is it the same length as the original?

[@larryw5429]

I don't know if I would of used that T-5 wc as a transmission.. They are not the strongest for spirited driving! Should of went with Tremec TKO 5 speed that is good for 600 ft torque!

[@carfxr123]

Im considering stuffing the entire drivetrain and suspension out of an 06 5.3 malibu up under the rear of my 73 gremlin x. Will I have traction? any thoughts?

[@christopherstevens2333]

I'm wanting to put a 6speed in my monte carlo

[@gearheadhuff7853]

What manual transmission is that?

[@Wbroach24]

Can't run my SS's exhaust straight out the back it would likely get squished to death pulling out of my driveway so side exit it is lol.

[@Dragnet2]

Great job, you corrected what Chevrolet fell short on…Needs a bumpy cam…..IMO

[@w41duvernay]

Bit would have to upgrade intake as well.

[@gerredstallings465]

U never know what issues u will have when u get a car that's been sitting for a long period of time

[@ProductofNZ]

Dude..this thing is siick!

[@cammerondrager5874]

Mexican Monte SS 350 4SPD factory.

[@byronherndon533]

Good job 😃👍🏽

[@knivesfrancois]

Been a while

[@grachoderunwiderstehlichen]

sure this more drama , than "your sister drop happy tears for her GM" ...🤭 and did she drive it today or "flip" the car for a other ?

[@kevonwalker8392]

💯💯

[@RealSaulGoodman78]

I love this ❤

[@anothersiguy]

So badass

[@01n30n]

It seems that Chevrolet should've had the Monte Carlo have a manuel, it's just natural for the type of car it is.

[@mightymikethebear]

The Monte Carlo is so much cooler with a manual transmission.

[@aarong8933]

Any interest in selling it?? 😃

[@rockytransaman8288]

I have to ask. How much money have you spent on this project? It appears to me that you have a lot more money than talent. I'm sure that you could have bought a newer, more modern (turnkey) car with much better performance for a lot less than you have spent so far.

[@doolallyproductions7234]

The old T5 were weak and can barely handle 305 in a 3rd gen F bodys the G bodys weigh more so the T5 wouldn't last long they did experiment with some doughnash 4+3 and zf 6 speeds in the F bodys but it never made it to production

[@saabkyle04]

The World Class T5s were a huge improvement over the earlier T5s. They were introduced in 1988 in the F-bodies. Bearings, internals and gears were all upgraded. It'll be just fine in this car.

[@knivesfrancois]

Irocz is completely rotten!

[@knivesfrancois]

Inside

[@gearheadhuff7853]

T5

[@cadocommmando]

First I think

[@woaken]

Well I’m first to comment on this first comment, so beat that!

[@alancrisp1582]

🤫 The word you you are looking for is sad 😔 !. No one likes a show off......

[@740iz06]

Sell me this car Kyle!

[@hcolin4165]

WOW, Great work amigo, this one made ya sweat a lil!! 3.73 gears ......NICE!!!

[@supersport1331]
