Re: T5 manual trans into AMC

[lynn peterson <kustomkemps@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ues a four speed pilot bushing. The bell housing must
be a '76 up short housing. You will have to shorten
the snout on the bearing cap for the trans to fit. Be
carefull if using a factory flywheel, as these are
very thick when compared to after market units, and
will add to the problem with the length of the bearing
retainer. A diaphram clutch will give the best
clearance, I've done this conversion many times, so,
if you need more help,k do not hesitate to ask.

regards,

Lynn
