Default Re: T5 advice

When I purchased the lot of three T5s, I had no idea of the different types. I ended up rebuilding the one which was most complete which turned out to be a WC from a 89 Mustang. Having the shifter rearwards for me with my speedster build was actually a blessing, but I’ll still be moving the shifter handle to the outside of the body with some linkage. The only downside to using the Mustang T5 was having a sleeve machined for the input bearing retainer so I could use an early Ford throw-out bearing. Getting that simple sleeve machined was a crazy CAN$380!
