T-5 Transmission Question.

[95/GT/5.0]

Alex89GT,I see you want to do the same thing.It's pretty easy if you have a world class T-5 The front bearing is a caged roller bearing w/ race that can be removed.The non world class has a (ball bearing), and is pressed onto the input shaft,race CAN'T be removed.Although the world class roller bearing is pressed on too,the race can be removed from it.Being that the race can be removed it makes it alot easier to remove the inputshaft.There is a notch(cresent shaped) that has to be lined up so the inputshaft (gear), clears the cluster gear and then pulls right out.I have a few tricks and got lucky and didn't drop anything in the trans.So I didn't have to remove the shift fork cover (top cover) to look inside and visually line up the notch.You will probably have to take the shiftfork cover off.If you have to take the cover off it's not to hard to put back on if all your doing is swapping I/S's. .Also the bearing retainer has a drain hole that must be at the bottom,there are loose roller bearings(no cage) and a washer inside the input shaft that could fall into the trans if your not carefull when you pull the I/S out,and the synchro will probably fall out and it must go back correctly too.When removing the shiftfork cover there are four plastic guides that can fall in the trans.You must also make shure both your T-5,s are the same gear ratio, can't swap if different.If you still think you want to try this, email me and I'll send you some detailed info.If you have never rebuilt a manual trans,I would find a trans shop to do the swap for you.Should be inexpesive.No special tools required.95/GT/5.0
