Parts Necessary 4 T-5 swap

I have the tranny, shifter, bellhousing and clutch.

I know I need the pedals. What else is needed? Tranny's are a black hole for me. So this should be fun lol!

Thanks!

Re: Parts Necessary 4 T-5 swap

I'm doing that swap right now. you will need (hopefully i don't miss anything):

flywheel
pilot bearing
clutch disk
pressure plate
throw-out bearing
throw-out bearing fork
bell housing
transmission
clutch slave cylinder
clutch master cylinder
clutch reservoir
brake/clutch pedal assembly
lower shift boot
upper shift boot
manual shift plate for center console

I think that is everything.

also, read the T-56 swap sticky thread in the Transmission board. It has tons of useful information. that is the thread that I read about 5 times before starting my swap. This is the first time I have messed with transmissions myself and the swap isn't that bad to do. Seems overwhelming when you think about it and start, but it comes together fast and isn't actually that bad of a project.

Re: Parts Necessary 4 T-5 swap

You will need to have a torque arm mount and as said above look at the t56 swap thread. It will give you a good idea of what to do and how to do it. Pay attention to the wiring for the neutral start and reverse lights.
