Re: t-5 conversion ?'s

bellhousing, shifter, flywheel, pedals, possibly a computer, clutch.

Can't remember if the crossmember works or not

Re: t-5 conversion ?'s

I have a bell housing for a Fox that I am trying to sell.

What year is it for? I think I had read something that the 94/95 was slightly longer on the input shaft, and the bell housing was different not sure though.

Don't forget the block plate, shift fork, throw-out bearing, and exhaust hanger.

Re: t-5 conversion ?'s

cross member is the same.. if yer in a pinch, a fox t-5 can werk. it jus sits a lil further in the trannie tunnel.. not sure if the blocking plate is the same or not, but the input shaft is the same i think...

greg for the money, the rewards are worth the down time/sacrifice IMO.. i can't tell ya how much fun it is to drive mine w/ a stick.. better gas milage, more fun. no comparrison. 'cept maybe to the specs of a race built lentech or somthing..

The bell housing is deeper and the input shaft is longer. This allows the shifter to be positioned further back. I assume this would cause clearance issues with the center console if you tried using a Fox t-5 and bell housing.

The T-5 block plate should be the same.
