Ok, do 5 speeds have dust covers like the autos do?

I pulled a T-5 out of a 85-87 V6 bird. I figure with the V6 it couldn't have taken that much abuse....so should i have any problems with it or should it be rebuilt?

How do i get the fluid out and how much goes back in?

Oh yeah, how the hell do i get the flywheel off? What do i use to keep it from spinning?

Pardon my ignorance, i've been an automatic guy for a while so i don't know much 'bout Standards.

Ahh, my post got buried. Got to bring it back up.

 

No dust covers on manuals. The bell housing pretty much takes care of that. There's a drain plug on the pass side of the tranny. And a fill plug. Takes about 3 quarts. There should be a hole in the flywheel somewhere you could stick a screwdriver in to keep it from moving.
