A truck bell housing is sometimes used, but the clutch fork is in the wrong location to properly match the passenger linkage. These are the instructions for installing the adapter plate.

1. Remove old 3 speed transmission
2. Remove old crossmember or modify it to fit the new transmission. See our p/n 2200.
3. Replace clutch disc with 85-90 Chevrolet S10 clutch disc. (NAPA p/n RCF4203, not included)
4. Attach trans adapter to the bell housing with (2) 3/8-16 flat head socket screw in the top holes and (2) 3/8-16 hex head cap screws, lock washers and flat washers in the bottom holes. The centering ring fits forward into the bell housing.
5. Remove the bearing retainer from the front of the S10 transmission and modify as follows:
   
   1. Shorten the sleeve to 3 5/8" from mounting surface.
6. Drill out the transmission mounting holes to 1/2" diameter.
7. Install the transmission.
8. Use two 1/2"-13 bolts and lock washers in the top 2 mounting holes. Install the (2) 1/2" - 13 x 2" studs in the lower two holes. Screw them in until they bottom on the bell housing. Install (2)1/2 - 13 nuts and lock washers on the lower studs.
9. Be sure all attaching bolts are tight.
