Using Ford internals in a WC T5
Hey guys if I rebuilt my WC T5 with Ford internals (way easier to source) what are the implications? Different prop shaft and clutch?

Yes; and their terrible gears if you get stock ones.

Recommendations are best made after a unit is torn down.

Mine needs a new 5th gear. Thing is I can't find one anywhere and in the UK- the Cosworths use T5's and have multiple upgrade options

The countershaft gear? What's failed? Which tooth count?
