output shaft bearing removal, in the car?

[rockyracoon]

can it be done or do I have to remove the tailshaft housing,if so would the shifter have to be disconnected and would I have to remove the x member mount?

i just got through tearing apart my g force and yes it sucks but once u have done it once it is really simple....if you need any help let me know

You might have to remove the whole tranny. If I remember correctly there is a bearing race that is set in place by a plate that uses torque bolts and a shim. In order to get the output shaft easily to get the bearing off you have to cut the cage of the bearing and release all the rollers. I had to use a press to get what was left of the bearing off.

See http://www.ttcautomotive.com/English/onlineorder/product.asp to download a FREE service manual for T5 or Tremec 3550
You will need the Adobe Acrobat viewer which is also a free download – http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

See http://www.hanlonmotorsports.com/ or http://www.ddperformance.com/index2.htm for parts

A T5 rebuild kit with syncros, bearings and other small parts costs about $160. It does not include any gears or shafts.

http://cartapes.com also has a video on how to rebuild your T5 or Tremec. It costs less than $20, and is worth every penny of it.

take the tranny out mang, much easier to work on the thing when you're not on your back under the car

the transmission will have to come out...once u get the tail housing off their is a series of c clips, races, speedo gear, and retainers you must pull off before you can get the output bearing and race out
