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.

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 fbodies

i mean, im sure you can get it to work, you will just have to cut the center console apart and stuff

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??
