i just insalled the bellhousing and clutch fork and throwout bearing. the teeth are not matching up, i counted 27 teeth on the yoke from the driveshaft, but 30 teeth in the driveshaft. And at the other end, the clutch only has about 10 ( i think ) teeth to slide into. PLEASE HELP! I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON! could i have the wrong clutch? wrong tranny? anyone have any ideas?

Im a little confused here. First how many teeth are there on the clutch? How many on the input shaft to the tranny? How many teeth are there on the output shaft on the tranny? And how many on the driveshaft yoke. And what exactly is the problem?

Isnt the TKO more expensive than the 3550? Which one did you get charged for?

was charged for the 3550, but got the TKO. Anyone know if the TKO takes the same amount of gear oil as the 3550 ( 3 bottles of syncro gear lube )?

I think you have to have an aluminum one that has the mounting points that can move back and forth.

Me and my friend installed a tko in his car. The original crossmember wouldnt bolt up to the transmission. So he had to get the one from Jegs that can move back and forth.

AOD crossmember is already in the right spot, the T5 crossmember needs to be moved back.
