Ok, i'm in the middle of my swap, meaning that both transmissions are on the floor of my garage, and i've got a few things i need to know.
1) Can i use the same pilot bearing/bushing for the T5 that was on the old 3spd? I am reusing the original clutch/flywheel and t/o bearing.
2) Will the old starter motor fit on the new bellhousing?
3) I dont have T5 block plate, so i'm just using the old one, but the holes at the bottom dont line up with the new bellhousing. Can i just leave this un-bolted and perhaps RTV it shut? Or should i drill a couple new holes in it to put the bolts in?
4) I need a new tailshaft seal, and both parts stores that i've been to have given me the wrong one. The flange is the right size, but the rubber dust cover is about 3/4 inch too long. If i were to install it, the rubber boot would extend far beyond the output shaft, and it doesnt seem right. Any thoughts? I'll also post this one in the 5.0 crowd, see if they're any help.
Thanks again guys,
3"soon to be 5"spd on floor
