okay, I have a 2012 5.0 6speed and i ordered a stage3 clutch lightweight flywheel and I'm about to order an all aluminum drive shaft is there anything I need to know about these trannys before I drop it, or is there a write up on it already? Its starting to get cold out and the garage doesn't have heat so I just don't want any surprises half way through. lol

thanks Don

I have not had any experience with the newer transmission but have not heard of any issues... the fundamentals should be the same as dropping any tranny. I have bolted bellhousings and trannys to the new 5.0 and did not run across anything strange, at least from the motor side of things. The driveshaft and exhaust should be easy.
