T5 shift fork ?

[Jaswir]

going to buy a tranny from a guy that says it works great! Just he bent the first to 2nd gear clutch fork i think its called?... Says the tranny works good just you cant power shift it..


1st ? How hard is it to replace your self?

2nd ? Can i take the clutch fork out of my old t5 and put it in this t5?

Yea you can swap them out. You just have to make sure that you keep everthing lined up when it goes back together. I really wouldn't suggest doing it your self if your not familiar with them.


But if i was going to go through the trouble of taking it that far down i would go ahead and freashin it up.

It is cake i rebuilt my t5 myself and i would pay some one to work on it b/c they are so simple. Buy the video from hanlon motor sports ($20) and dig in. You will be amazed at how ez it is.

yeah if you've never done it before, either get that video or have someone there that's done it before. the shift forks are attached to the top lid and you have to pull the tail shaft housing to pull the top lid. getting the little "gates" on the forks to line back up when you go to reinstall it is a PITA as well...at least it was for me.

Honestly, until you take the t-5 apart, you have no idea what is wrong with it. I wouldn't go buy this trans with the assumption all you'd need to replace is 1 single fork. It really needs to be opened up and inspected
