Can a T5 Tranny swap be this easy???
#11
from the work you've done before you shouldn't have a problem phisically planting it.
However as Gun said, a lot of us had problems with vibrations afterwards.
For some it was a changed working angle in driveshaft, up/down and even left to right if not careful. You might have to cut the DS a bit, noone can tell you before you're finished and have it in. I havent seen a common denominator on this one.
the swap itself is easy, but having it nbot vibrating once done seems to be the harder part. If you can keep your current driveshaft and wheels etc then you know what you started with. I changed absolutely everything which gives me headaches to trace it

Thanks guys. I am happy with my stock clutch setup right now. My headers are fine with clearance and leaving it the way it is works for me. I just assume to leave well enough alone. I looked at what I will need in addition to finding the right WC T5 and I will need to spend about $450 or so on parts from Moderndrivelive. I just couldn't believe that it could be that simple.

there's two ways to go about it. either find a T5 with bellhousing. from what i know it'll match straight, or use your old bellhousing with the adapter plate.
If you do the latter (that's what i did). Bring the adapter plate to machine shop to attach to current bellhousing (costs ~20$). when you mount the tranny to the adapterplate with bellhousing check for the length of the screws provided. mine were a tad too long, so it was actually hitting in the end. you'll never get a straight sitting tranny then. check for that

If you find one with a bell housing, you just need to add a fulcrum spacer to use it with your stock linkage. That way you can keep your factory bell intact in the event you ever want to return it to stock.
