I believe I need a new ts bushing as my trans is leaking from the ts. I have a 95 GT with a t5 manual trans. Please, if anyone can tell me where to find the tool to remove the bushing. I can't seem to find one anywhere. I would really appreciate any help I can get on finding the tool. The transmission shops all want between 200 and 500 to remove the ts and the bushing. I told them there was a tool. They said they don't have one and don't have any intentions on buying one so if I ddn't want to do it myself, I'd have to pay up. I will have the trans rebuilt before I pay 500 for a bushing. Also, how do I get the new one in?

you don't pull them out you lay the housing upright and tap it in so it falls to the inside, I use a 1/2 drive socket as opposed to a 3/8's anyway I can't remember the exact size, but just order the bushing and take it to the local hardware store or sears and get a socket that'll fit/ no larger than the O/DIAMETER SO THAT THE SOCKET will tap on through the housing yet still driving out the bushing, done it tons of times this way

I've been told that it can be removed with the tailhousing left in the car. This is done with a puller which I have seen pictures of on a few of these forums but I can't locate one of the pullers. I just need to know where to buy one so I don't have to remove the tailhousing which will be a pain in the butt due to the exhaust and all.

It takes me 30 min to pull a t-5, the time it takes f'ing with it in the car, ain't worth it to me.

I know I've read on this forum where other people have used the puller. Can't anyone say where they purchased it? I understand that there are several different opinions on how it should be done (removing the tailshaft, not removing it,...) I just want to know the options so I can decide which one I like best. If the tool is expensive or people say it doesn't work very well...at least then I can make a decision as to whether I want to mess with it or not. At this point, though, I don't even know where one can be found. Thanks for your response though. I do appreciate your insight (and if those are your cars in the pic...nice rides bro!)
