Re: make a nwc t5 into a wc t5?
Is there any other modification needed to fit a WC in place of a NWC t5? I ask because my NWC in my 84 Z28 is whining and leaking from every possible source, might as well upgrade if I have to pull it out for a rebuild. I heard there was a difference with rear main seals or something?

Re: make a nwc t5 into a wc t5?
seeing as i rebuilt both of them, i know what the differences are. from experience, if you want performance it's not an upgrade. You need a replacement, t56, tremec, etc...

Re: make a nwc t5 into a wc t5?
jmd and 86z are both correct.
Couldn't care less what some "link" says. The cases are DIFFERENT. Any link that says otherwise is WRONG. ANYbody can post ANYthign about ANYthing on the Internet; just being posted is no "proof" of truth.
Specifically, all the parts of the case having to do with the countergear bearings, is COMPLETELY different. The 2nd design has a bolt-in retainer for example, that the 1st design does not. The 2nd design uses tapered rollers with preload, where the 1st design uses straight rollers. (In fact the rear CG bearing in the 1st design is the same part # as a 10-bolt axle bearing.)
No way to turn the one into the other, except by the tried-and-true "2-step" method.
The difference in "torque" "ratings" is COMPLETELY TRIVIAL. They are equally weak. The main difference, to the end user, is the 2nd design will give about .01 more mpg, due to less internal friction, as its intermediate gears ride on roller bearings on the mainshaft, rather than bushings like the 1st design uses (and old 4-speeds as well).
