96 3.8 T5 to 1990 5.0

[19905.0]

I recently bought a 1990 fox body with 5.0 and a T5 transmission. The transmission was bad so I bought a T5 out of a 96 3.8 Mustang. I went to bolt it up and nothing wouldn’t work so please help.

Input shaft on the 94+ is 3/4" longer. You need to swap the input shaft and Retainer before you can bolt it into s pre 94 bellhousing

Ok thanks

Why can't one use a 3.8 bellhousing? 3/4" deeper-but moving the shifter back 3/4" isn't going to be too much. Will require a cut down drive shaft though. Is the 94-95 T5 5.0 bellhousing the same depth as the 3.8?

Also does the '96 still have a speedometer gear on the shaft or are they electronic speedo?
