Hissen50: Thanks for the message. I wanted to hear from someone who's already done the job just in case there's something I'm not already anticipating, so that helps a lot.
Toyman: I'm referring to the drive gear on the trans output shaft. I'm switching from the 8 to 7 tooth drive gear. I will change the driven gear on the VSS afterward, but that part of the process is much simpler. The 7 tooth drive gear requires a 20 tooth driven gear. I beleive that the 23 tooth gear which a lot of places sell is a hack fix to pair up 3.55's with the stock 8 tooth drive gear. The tooth count/driven gear diameter is not coorect for the 8 tooth drive gear. From what I've read here, some people get away with the 23 tooth driven gear and other have had serious isues (teeth shearing, bad fit,...). That's why I'm going to take off the tailshaft housing and swap drive gears.
Question for you guys... I have a 1995 GT with 3.73 gears and am trying to correct the speedo. Now does my T5 have 6Tooth, 7tooth, or 8tooth? According to that link http://pomoforacing.com/tech/T5Rebuild2002.pdf it would be 8tooth (correct?) but it looks like there is no gear correction for that transmission...
You'll at least probably need a helper to fit the shift block (and remove it) while the tail is being pulled off. You have to start the block as the tail goes on, and then get the roll-pin hole aligned before the tail seats.
I'd be prepared to pull the trans and if you can do it without pulling it, great. If not, you were ready to do it.
