More T5 Swap Information

got a throw out bearing off a jeep...fits the IBR but no idea yet if it fits the fork, thats still on the car and it school prom season so no dismatling at the mo... best to avoid upset daughter...

may end up doing some horrible custom job on the original.... just have to see.. but in other news there is a nice LONG yoke used on some fords which i got.... so it looks like i can use that and avoid having to get custom tail shaft/tail . its splined along its full tube, think as long as i have the same amount of spline width passed the output shaft/tailhousing bush/bearing, into the trans, as there is bearing width. i'll be ok, that should be 2.5 to 3 inches full spline engagement... and you can get a small dodge to ford UJ no probs.. so hopefully a win there..... if used full in it would more or less fill the housing and might hit speedo gears so some care needed

I used a Hemi throwout bearing and had a friend slightly turn down the front bearing retainer to fit. That way, I get to use the stock clutch fork and change nothing from the bellhousing forward.
