Preparing my LS swapped third gen Camaro for a Nissan CD009 6 speed transmission.

- In this video I will be hammering the transmission tunnel to make more room for the CD009. I will also remove the flex plate from my LS engine. I will also be attempting to pull the pilot bearing. I will also grind some metal off the transmission so it can be pulled while leaving the bell hosing attached to the engine.
Just keep pounding the bread into it, worked for me. When jegs sold me the wrong pilot bearing... 😑
I've seen it work for other people too. I just hate pounding on the crank. Thanks for chiming in I may go back to the bread.
Doing this same swap to my 3rdgen right now
Hope my videos help in some way.
Hey buddy, I use a die grinder and carbide burr. Cut a groove
That's a good idea 💡
Never seen that pilot bearing removal too before go rent a slide hammer and bearing puller tool quick and easy
It’s definitely not making it easy
True
👍
Hope all the pieces of the puzzle come together for you. You gotta do what you gotta do and take the time it takes. Look forward to this will-it-run video. Sounds interesting. Be safe and stay well.
It's all part of doing something new. I appreciate you watching and I hope you have a great weekend.
Thanks for the content weather it’s 10 min of your busy time or 30 we appreciate it
Thanks I appreciate that.
Step away from that pilot bearing for a bit is the best advice I can offer....it WILL come out. Hit it hard later when you're mind is refreshed, ALWAYS works! The process is a real struggle sometimes....Most certainly though "you" and many others including myself will certainly cross that finish line once the victory has been earned.....and it'll be worth every damn cuss and dollar spent! Thanks for sharing your journey, it's your story and this chapter is going to end in some badd assery.
Your definitely right about stepping away sometimes. That has helped me many times. I have a new game plan for when I get back to it hopefully it works.
I just bought a cd009 to put into my 91 camaro with a 6 liter as well, it’s nice to see somebody blazing a trail for when I swap mine in
Well thank you for watching. I've put a lot of research into this but almost no one has actually finished the swap that I could find. It may take a little time but I will get it done.
@@ForsakenSteel I appreciate you being the Guinea pig for the ls swapped third gen community! I was planning on buying a similar shifter like the one you have now but now I know not to haha can’t wait to see how it turns out!
So I’m a Nissan guy. But I have a iroc cause I grew up in Camaros. I have a cd009 laying around. And a 5.3L. So I decided I’m gonna try and cd009 LS swap the camaro. Figured nobody had done this yet. Maybe I was wrong
Well I wasn't the first to try. However I think I'm the only one that finished the swap. I have a ton of information about what I did. However if you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks for watching and good luck with your project.
@@ForsakenSteel I found the top mount shifter, I’m wandering where you got the trans mount that holds the torque arm. I’m gonna do a tubular k member for the LS so I may be able to move the trans forward or backwards for better shifter location.
I'm using the Hooker Blackheart transmission cross member. I've got the engine as far back as it will go and still had to make a shifter offset bracket to move it farther back
@@ForsakenSteel I seen you used a 4l60 housing adapter. They make adapters where not cutting of the housing is needed. I wander what the difference in length would be
I'm not sure but it needs like 5" more.
Sorry to hear the extra problems, but that is why it's called customising, I had similar problems when I changed the clutch in my 253 Aust small V8 with a Toyota Hilux 5 speed, runs Ford clutch plate with Toyota splin onto the V8 flywheel, all the best to you and your loved ones
You are correct. I'm blazing a trail and there are definitely some bumps in the road. Thanks for watching and have a great week.
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible night. Much love and RESPECT brother
Hope you have been doing well Tim. Much love and thank you for watching.
Tn clay dirt works the best though
I'll never get that out 😂
Now you can take it to the IMPORT Natties too
I'll either fit in everywhere or nowhere.
Wet the bread and use the big end of a 1/2 inch extension
Good idea
So I’m curious is the trans in and good now or still not finished ? I have a 91 z28 man I been watching all your videos you have been a big help I’m ls swapping mine but haven’t got as far as you have lol
No it's still sitting on the floor. 😂 I'm back to working on it though. Shifter is supposed to be here soon. So I'll be back on it. Science no one has finished one (that I've seen) this before. It's taking me some extra time. I'm blazing a trail one mistake at a time.
@@ForsakenSteel lol sound like me lol hey was just asking I’ll be watching for an update video on it I’m anxious to see it in there and how it does for you
I will have an update video on Tuesday. I'm not sure how far it will be though. Definitely not going to be finished but closer.
I'm wanting to do this swap on my lemans, it's currently an ar5 so this would be an upgrade!
I'll be curious to see how it does in an A body. You shouldn't have nearly the amount of trouble with room.
@@ForsakenSteel The A body definitely has more room, that I can find not many write up on this swap
I couldn't find anything on the f body either. I'm learning as I go.
Drill the pilot bearing in three different positions but be very careful. it will weaken the bearing after you drill and you'll be able to full it out with your tool. Good luck.
That's a good idea.
That's what I did to my car.
Nothin wrong with big hips😏
I definitely agree.
Maybe try some grease instead of bread. Get a good tight seal with the tape to help create a strong hydraulic effect. Good luck!
I'll give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@ForsakenSteel your welcome! That method has worked for me in the past.
What adapter is it plese
It is from Collins Performance. Not cheap but very good quality.
Thks for the reply
Just curious why you didn't just go with a T5 or T56?
I looked for a good used one for 6 months. All I could find were $2000 or more and they all needed something. The drift community Love these CD009's so I thought I would give one a shot. If I had it all to do over I would have saved my money and bought a new Tremec T56 and just went on about my life but here we are. I'm committed now.
UA-cam hates you huh??.. Well Facebook hates me. 😆 🤣
We can't let things like that hold us back. 😂
Did you sell the wheels and tires
No I haven't. If you are in the East Tennessee area and would like them send me your phone number in an email to forsakensteel@gmail.com and we can figure it out.
