aod to t5 swap issuse

the 3.8 tranny will work but not the bell housing.

i'm guessing you have a 94/95 car??

you do need the 94/95 bell then

another choice is to use the 87-93 bell, and the 87-93 style input shaft and bearing retainer, and use a driveshaft spacer. you'll have to research that for all the details.

you'll need an 85-93 bell housing from a 5.0 car.

the trans will work, but the input shaft itself is longer, as is the bearing retainer.

To make it work, you're going to need an input shaft from the high alloy type setup 90-93. you'll also need a new bearing retainer.

to swap input shafts, pull the 4 bolts off of the retainer, and twist the input shaft out. put the new on in, and you'll HAVE to check for proper endplay, or you'll destroy the tranny. be sure you use the correct 90+ input shaft too, not the earlier 85-89 style.

hanlon motorsports.com or astroperformance.com has your input shaft, but it's gonna cost $150ish + another $35 for the retainer.
