The Camaro T5 transmission is actually NOT rotated. The Camaro bell housing has bolt holes that mount the T5 in a rotated position. If the Camaro T5 is mounted on a standard cast iron bell with a 4" +11/16" center bore then it will NOT be rotated. Please visit
THIS LINK from my website that show what I'm describing.
Yes, the Camaro T5 shifter is too far back for a bench seat. The S10 tail housing swap can take care of that problem but it is very very hard to find an S10 tail housing with a cable speedo connection.
