i posted this in the v6 section and was recommended to repost here..
i just finished putting in a 3.1 and a t5, but the first gear is a 50/50 chance of going in gear and fourth gear has a worn ring i think so it grinds going in.
now, i have a t5 from a v8 and was wondering if changing the input shaft is the only thing necessary to do that swap?
i know the gears are slightly different and that one or two guys on here have done it but i could not find any threads detailing it.
skip shifting is fun and all but i still kind of want to be able to get through all the gears.

 

I thought about putting one behind my v6 and done a little research and found out that there is a clutch that is the same size as the v6 but with the same spline as the v8. If you can find out which one it is you wont have to change the input shaft. I'll look for it later.

 

oh wow, didnt even think of that hah, ill look into it too.

 

I found it just search v8 t-5 in a v-6
