Re: RE:T5 input question and Camaro gears

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I'm beginning to believe that it will work. The more I Think about what I have in place in the car now compared to what I want to do makes me think it will work.
  I have a 4.0L shortblock with a pilot bearing in it. I also have a cracked damaged bellhousing. If I take a couple of pieces of strap and mount them to a Camaro bearing retainer, which I think I have. I should be able to mock up the bad camaro input I have to see how far it goes into the 4.0L pilot bearing, before I order a new one. 
  Sounds like a plan. I will have to get to work on that.
IIRC isn't the pilot tip of the AX15 input the same .509" as the Camaro input and AMC????

I think the 1/2" shorter shaft will work as you suggested earlier, provided 
there is enough clearance between the clutch disc hub and the extended pilot 
bushing. If the bushing can extend out 1/4" I think you're good to go as long as 
the tip is arond 1/4" in the actual crank hole. If not, I'd go with your idea 
about using a larger diameter busing with a shoulder that will press in the 
crank.
