    Stuck Harmonic Balancer Bolt - 289

    First I tried an impact wrench and now its soaking in WD-40. I'm trying to pull the balancer to replace the timing chain cover while in the car. I just did a T5 swap and my drive shaft is being shortened and I'm having trouble from keeping the engine from turning. Any ideas?

    Need clutch education, Pics attached. T5 Swap

    Ok, so I have not changed a clutch out for about 5 years and all the ones I have were on cars originally equipped with a manual transmission. Look at the attached pics. The pressure plate is not touching the flywheel, there is a 1/4 or so gap. Is this normal? I think it is......because when...

    WC T5 5th gear ratio???

    Thanks for the replies! I'm just looking for some confindence that I picked the right rear end gear (3:50). I want a useable 5th gear, I'm ok with downshifting to pass, just want it to have enough power that is useable as cruising speeds. My Jeep still has the stock 4:10 gears w/ 32" tires...

    28oz Flywheel for T5 swap

    I do not know what stock flywheel came with 157 teeth and 28oz for my fox 10.5" clutch. From what I have gathered from this thread there is not a stock part that matches this description. So I will likely buy the one in the eBay link below...

    28oz Flywheel for T5 swap

    I can return the 10.5" clutch kit and buy the 10" clutch kit w/ a stock flywheel (28oz, 157 teeth for a 10" clutch) to keep my cost low. What model and year should I look for on the flywheel and clutch kit to acheive this? Or.......is there a major advantage of the stock 10.5" clutch Vs...

    What do you think of this T5 Ratio?

    Anyone have an educational T5 link so I can do my research so I know what I'm buying is actually what is supposed to be? Thanks This is exactly where I want to be, I may have slightly higher RPMs due to the slightly smaller tire.

    What do you think of this T5 Ratio?

    The guy says he sells his rebuilt Non-World Class for $350-$400 and his World Class for $650.00. My engine will be very mild. I want this car to be functional, OK gas milage, used often and taken on 125 mile trips. What do you think? I'm leaning towards buying it......then I got to gather...

    What do you think of this T5 Ratio?

    I can't change my gears as they are all ready installed but I havent purcahsed the trans yet. This is just the specs of one I found locally and I am considering. So I should look for one w/ lower gears so I can use 5th @ about 65MPH. If the price is right I might just stick w/ this one......

    What do you think of this T5 Ratio?

    T5 in questions is out of a 1984 Ford Mustang with a 302 engine tag number 1352-065. The gear ratios are as follows 1st=2.95 , 2nd=1.94 , 3rd=1.34 , 4th=1.00 , 5th=0.63 , R=2.76. This T5 is a non world class unit so it will use 70W gear oil not dexron like the world class units. I plan to put...
