    85 vs 95 T-5 in a Fox

    So will the 85 input shaft and bearing from a 85 fit on the 95 tranny? Because a good buddy of mine has a 85 GT that he is letting me have for dirt cheap and a guy on these boards is selling a 95 T-5 in my area for cheap as well. I need advise before I go spending money :D
