I am putting in the new Tremec t56 after market that bolts to the t5 bellhousing. (cooool six speeds can't wait.) wanted to know if i need to do anything to put in the speedo cable? is there a gear or something that has to be swaped ? is it going to be long enough? got the spohn bracket and torqe arm yestereday really heavy duty cool spherical end on the torque arm. Quality stuff. confused

Thanks for all the help everybody

Have you installed your trans yet? Did you blot the bellhousing to the trans with the adapter plate before you put in the car? Or did you bolt the adapter plate to the bellhousing and then put the trans in the car? Thanks

 

i bolted the plate to the existing bell then the tranny to the plate.
You have too. the backup switch hooked right up but i am wondering if the old speedo gear will work? the one from the t5?

 

well, I can't seem to get the input shaft in there. any suggestions? did you damage that seal in the adapter plate? why is that seal there?

 

as far as the seal my buddy bolted the plate on and it had some kind of sleeve he said so i dont know about the seal. as far as stabing it in make sure its in nuetral and kind of gently rock it tell the splines matck up and boom right in. my buddy was a little shy of it too. i just rocked and pushed went right in. did yours come with no instructions too? mine is in but now i have to switch my new sportline springs for the pro lines because the sportlines were so low it was binding on my new drive shaft loop. so im waitng on the new springs should be here after the first of the year. cant wait. good luck sorry couldnt help with seal i will ask my buddy tomorrow about it. he was working on the car as i had to got to work. let me know how it goes.
