Will a t-5 from a 95 gt fit in my 88 gt? I heard that 94-95 had a longer input shaft, but there all t-5s bolted up to a 302...... any info???? thanks.

No, It will not fit unless you change the input shaft.

gotta change the input shaft, not worth it

That sux........ But why would Ford change it? Its still the same ol' 5.0 HO and T-5s from the fox years.....

Why would they be different trannys if they bolt to the same blocks? Would it work if I used the flywheel from the 95?

no, you have to swap the input shaft and use a fox specific bellhousing.

the bellhousing was made deeper and the input shaft made longer because the passenger compartment was moved further back in the SN-95 body style... the engine is literally 1" further away in an SN-95 than it is in a fox.

what do you mean by the ball? the flywheel? cuz I can get the flywheel, clutch and tranny in this deal. wud it still not work?

AdderMk2

if I meant flywheel, I would have said it...

god, I mix up one vowel and i screw up the entire world!

So, if I used the bellhousing from the 95, it wud work? Would I need a shorter driveshaft?

AdderMk2

no, then your mounts wouldnt line up, driveshaft would be too long, shifter would hit the trans tunnel...

why dont you just suck it up, and swap the damn input shaft.... its a friggin 30 minute job
