Third Generation Chevy Camaro 1982 - 1992: Street Performance and Race Mods

 

Camaro Performance Racing Transmissions (Manual and Automatic):

Presented below are many of the manual and automatic transmission options available for the third gen Camaro as well as many of the components required to complete the drive-train. Engines typically produce maximum horsepower and torque in a very narrow RPM range. In order to maintain max horsepower and torque, the transmission provides as many gears required to accelerate through the speed ranges, maintaining peak engine performance. The broader the speed range over which performance is required, the more gears will be desired. Most of the equipment shown here has been engineered to accommodate high horsepower engines for use on the street, drag strip or track.

  • Torque arm mount: The TH350 lacks the mount points for the torque arm. Use one of the following:
    • B&M TH200/700-R4 to TH350 changeover kit PN 30299
    • PATC (Performance Automotive Transmission Center) adapter kit - includes a cross member, drive-shaft loop and torque arm PN61XXX

  • Vacuum Modulator: The TH350 requires a vacuum modulator: B&M vacuum modulator PN20234
  • Drive shaft: The installation of the TH350 requires a longer drive-shaft. This will have to be custom made at a drive-shaft shop.
  • Speedometer connection:
    • Electronic speedometers: A conversion unit is required to read an electronic signal from the mechanical TH350 speedo output. Use Stealth Conversions PN4PRS
