    T5 vs Toploader 4 speed???

  5. Pulling A Toploader From A 65 Coupe

    Hi all, My son and I are going to rebuild the 4 speed toploader in his 65 coupe. I've pulled it before with the bellhousing, but was wondering if just the transmission can be pulled? I'm thinking the only issue would be the throwout bearing. Anyone ever try this or have an opinion? I dont...
