I'M ALMOST DONE MY T5 SWAP....I JUST FINISHED INSTALLING THE T5 BELL HOUSING AND I'M NOT SURE HOW THE TOB GOES IN THE FORK. PLUS HOW DO I ROUT THE CLUTCH CABLE...CUZ RIGHT NOW ITS WAY TOO LONG.. ITS GOES TWO FEET PAST THE OPENING FOR THE FORK...SO SOMETHING IS WRONG.
Yes the throwout bearing just rests on that spring on the fork..when its in it stays stable because it rides on the throw out bearing retainer on the front of the trans...make sure you install it with the thick spinning part pointing towards the front of the car...good luck
