Hey guys, Ive been contemplating swapping in a T5 into my 94 AOD-E GT Convertible. I have a possible good deal on one out of a foxbody..are they fully compatible? What issues may I run into, and what extra parts would I need? Thanks a lot guys
blksn955.o said:If you get one out of a fox you will need the fox bellhousing, and maybe the clutch fork (not 100% sure on this, know you need it for tko and such swaps). Also you will need a driveshaft spacer.
The reason is the input shaft on the 94-95 is longer than the fox, so the bell is longer and the trans. sits ever so slightly further rearward. If the fox is used then those things just move forward alittle.
I have heard that sometimes the fox shifters become alittle too far forward and can seem to hit the shifter hole or need triming...but I have also heard it is not an issue at all.
blksn955.o said:yes you would need the bellhousing and drive shaft spacer. The input shaft is already part of the t-5, its the shaft that comes out of the front of the t-5.
Like I said I am not 100% sure about the clutch fork but I would pick that up as well to be safe.
