    Hey Guys,
    First off, thanks to the forum members who sent me tips on removing the strater (damn third bolt). I have a few more questions for you all:

    1. Anyone know the size of the bellhousing bolts (metric size/thread/length)?
    Mine were pretty rusted on the head and I do not want to reuse them (don't have acess right now as the stang is at my bro's place).

    2. Should I replace the T.O. bearing and Pilot Bearing (w/ FMS ones)?
    I already have the tranny off and I figured I might as well....I have a
    CFDX clutch on right now...looking through previous owners record to try
    to figure out when it was done)

    3. Where are the casting numbers on the Borg Warner T-45's?
    I removed one T-45 from the cobra and have 2 that I bought (I hope the
    GT one fits otherwise can I modify cross-member to accept GT T-45??)
    Can my speedo geat work with a GT T-45 or do I have to order one (I have
    3.73 gears).?

    Saw this in another post:

    "T-45 from 1996-98 GT are different than the Cobra Mustangs. The transmission mount point is moved further back for the Cobras and as well as a 8 tooth drive speedometer gear. Cobras T-45 are equipped with a 7 tooth speedo gear. In 1999 all T-45's were changed to the Cobra specs. Why this was not done earlier is not understood."

    I will post a pic of the clutch if I can find a clutch alignment tool to put it back on...thinking of replacing that too...

    Posting on GT and SVT sections to get info from all...

    Thanks
