Installing the T5....Any last details?

[PickupMan]

Got all the stuff in for the T5 install. Am I missing anything or any tips? Got the crossmember, Mustang Steve's clutch cable, late model bell housing, T5, different yoke....Anything else?

Thanks!

shifter? reverse light connection, fluid, clutch and pressure plate. throw out fork and bearing(pilot bearing), and you are good as gold.



Did you double check that your Flywheel is a 157 tooth unit?

2 of ours was NOT former Toploader cars they were 164 tooth (many swear words there)

Yeah have all that stuff just not sure about the flywheel. It has a toploader in it now so I hope it has the 157 tooth. Also I was told to insatll the newer style pilot bushing with the needle bearings...is this true or will the old brass style work? Oh yeah...Anyone have an old stock t5 shifter? I have a B&m Ripper shifter but I think the handle is too short.

Thanks!

I have a new shifter for my T5 on order and once it arrives you're welcome to my stock one. Probably 1-2 weeks before I get it, though.

Be Sure And Protect Your Clutch Cable Where It Passes Near Exhaust. I Used That Spiral Aluminum Electric Conduit In Size 1 Inch ,and Lined It With Spark Plug Wire Protectors. I Have Had Zero Problems With It.

Thanks guys. Going to try and install it this weekend.
Restomod22, Let me knwo what you want for the shifter. When your other one comes in let me know and we'll figure something out from there.
INDYSKYS, That was one area I was a little worried about. i'll try that and it should work out ok.

Thanks!
