Re: need help
you should be able to get an input saft at a place like napa, or advance auto
the ford/gm transmissions might use the same case,so the bellhousing will bolt up, but the gear ratios will most likely be different.. just something to look out for.. i would try and get a t5 out of a v6 mustang if they used them. -

Re: need help
there is a lot of bad info on that second link you posted.. but i guess it wont work due to the shifter being offset in the fbodiesOriginally posted by hockeyman View Post
i mean, im sure you can get it to work, you will just have to cut the center console apart and stuffComment

Re: need help
I'm pretty sure the bell housing is different on the Mustang T5s. In any case, the input and output shaft is different, the tailshaft is different, and I believe as mentioned above that the shifter is in a different location.
Since no one else has asked, why use a Mustang T5?? Why not a T5 from a Camaro or Firebird that is designed to fit your car??-<i>Travis</i><br /><b>99 Trans Am, Pewter, A4</b> Forged, stalled, and cammed<br /><b>85 Buick Regal WH1 T-Type</b> It\'d be cool if it ran...<br /><b>94 Camaro 3.4, Teal, M5</b> The daily beaterComment
