I gave my friend my t5 from my 4cyl - he has had bad luck w/ AOD-e's in his 95 (blown up 2 of them) and is converting to t5. He eventually will put in a heavy duty t5, but is going to run the one i gave him for a short while. I know the input shaft is a different diameter than the v8 where it enters the pilot bushing - and i've heard that you can get the proper bushing - but what application uses this bushing? Thanks!!

i have installed a T5 from a 89 T-coupe cougar in my 89 mustang, and encountered the exact same problem as you did. there is a bearing i got from Napa that was the exact dimension that i needed. i do believe it was a 3202rsj bearing wich is commonly used as a alternator bearing/pilot bearing for some foreign rice burner. if that isnt the correct part# u will have to go the same route i did, being that the istallation tool u need is the common chevy pilot alignment tool.
the inner diamater of the bearing you need 4 the 4cyl is the exact same as the chevy camaro with a T5 80s model, then u have the parts store man look up the 5.0 outer bearing dimension and stick his head in the bearing catalog, and any compitant parts store man can figure out what you need. i used to work at napa.

Do a search here in Stangnet, be patient. I found it that way before when one of my friends was considering a swap, it's made by a company called Motormite.

I'm an ASE tech also, but I'm done with that field, I'll keep it a hobby.
