That would be the correct way to do it. FYI, you can get a brand new input shaft and bearing retainer for about $100 and they're easy as hell you change out.

. . . just remeber to swap the bearing race and shim into the new retainer.

If you put a fox T5 in the car, with the SN95 bellhousing, it will work for a few miles, but the input shaft does not sit in the pilot...it ends up just floating out there; not good. Thus, the shaft gets alot of lateral loading and eventually the input bearing and that first gear will crap out.

Either use an SN95 bellhousing with an SN95 transmission, or a fox bellhousing with a fox transmission and the driveshaft spacer.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows that -- and as far as I can tell, nobody has suggested doing that.

What they are saying is to use a t-5 and bell housing from a fox. It would work fine, except that the shifter would sit futher forward.

I know. Just explaining why it ends up having trouble.

just changing the input shaft would be so much simpler.

ok so...fox t5 with fox bellhousing with the right input shaft will do it?

He would also need an SN95 bearing retainer.

If you can't find a used SN95, just check the D&D site, they have them
