Tremec 5 Speed Install Help

[Jeff Chambers]

302's are not internally balanced either. They are externally balanced and if your's is a later model stock motor it will have a 50 in-oz imbalance. You'll need to buy both a flywheel and balancer with that imbalance. If the engine has been rebuilt, you need to check with the engine builder to verify its balance.

The Tremec from the 01GT is a 3650, not a T-5. Its bellhousing will not bolt to the 302 directly and the bellhousing is an integral cover to the front of the trans so swapping is going to be no small task.

Pilot bearing goes in the end of the crankshaft and supports the transmission's input shaft. Throw out bearing applies the pressure to the pressure plate and rides on the input bearing retainer of the transmission. You'll need both.

Also, there is no need for a spring loaded pedal assembly with a diaphram pressure plate. The fingers of the pressure plate provide all the pedal return action you'll need.

Jeff may be right about the transmission being a TR3650 if he has access to a way to index the part numbers. The 2001 GT production started with the T-45, switching to the TR3650 midway through the production year (love it when Ford does this).

The TR3650 has a very tiny looking tail housing and is more square than the T-45.

For what it's worth, I'd much rather have an old T-5 than the pos TR-3650. At least from my personal experience.
