Tranny swap Question

[GSXRMIXXER]

can i put a 95 stang tranny into my 88 GT hatch? would i need to swap bellhousings also?

assuming that you have a t5 and both are v8 trannys, then no.

you could just unbolt the tranny from the bellhousing (leaving it on the motor) in each car thus making the swap easier.

Yes, you can use the 95 trans in the 88, and yes, you will need the 95 bellhousing. The 94-95 used a 5/8" longer input shaft, so the bellhousing must be used for one of those years. You may also need a shorter driveshaft and *might* need to elongate your shifter hole in the floor to make up for the difference.

on myself.

it's also possible to swap the input shaft on the sn95 t5 for the right length t5 one.
