T5 Sawp into 86GT with AOD
I just bought a T5 out of a 94 Mustang only to find out that the trans may not work in the fox body. I was reading up on another forum and found that the T5 for 94-95 are really T5OD and have a 5/8" longer input shafts, and the rear mount is pushed back farther than the fox platform also. For some reason though, it is only this year that anybody said anything, therefore I question it's legitimacy. Does anyone know anything about this? Any tips? Any tricks? Has anyone ever adapted an AOD belhousing to the T5? I got lucky with the buying price at only $20, so I caould change out the input shaft with one from an earlier model, but would it be worth it? Let me know asap. I am getting tired of pretending to shift. Thanks

You'll need to swap out the input shaft for a fox body one..D&D performance can sell you one that is needed......as for bellhousings you'll need one for a 86-93 fox as the sn-95 mustang bellhousing is slightly deeper which is to allow for the longer input shaft...swaping is worth it all the way if you can do it yourself since you have so little invested in the tranny.

Ok, well is the input shaft any different from a v6? I was told that the v8s where universal and only the v6s were the troublesome ones. I have everything to go in the car for the swap, I am only holding on this little toss up and there is so much info that is back and forth that I would like to get it right.
