Re: [AMC-list] calponycar adapter to replace the T-96 with T-5...

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Oh, I forgot something!! Tom mentioned that I had to shorten the shaft 
on a T-96. I did -- about 1/16". That was to fit it to a 1974 258 crank 
in a 1988 4.0L block with a 1979 multi-pattern bell from a Spirit. The 
input shaft just did bottom out in the pilot hole. Apparently the pilot 
hole on a 196 is slightly deeper, or the eclectic combination of parts 
was just a little tighter together. "Clutch" would never disengage!! Had 
to pull the trans 2-3 times to figure out what was happening...  and 
that was a T-96 with OD!! A standard T-96 would have been easy to pull 
and stab back in, the longer bulk of the OD trans makes it harder -- 
almost as bad as a trans with a transfer case on it, but you don't have 
the option of taking the OD off!
