T5 manual trans into AMC

Some years ago I seen somewhere that the Borg-Warner T-5 WC (World
Class-Heavy Duty) on V-8 Mustangs (1985 and newer 302s) fit AMC's.  I took
my bell-housing down to transmission shop and it will bolt to the housing.
Was told that the pilot bearing would need to be changed along with the
clutch plat.  As I now have the 75 -3 speed (was in my fathers barn) I now
plain to take it over and compare the shaft and pilot shaft.  As they are 5
speed it might be nice in one of my Javelins.  Just adding my input, and
looking for any comments...


Yeah, T5 five speed in a Javelin, great idea, I'm currently accumulating
parts
to convert my automatic to a T5. I know a fellow who had one in his 73
Javelin.
It worked great except he had a little chatter because he used the AMC
clutch
disc which fit's a 1-1/8" diameter input shaft and the T5 has a 1-1/16
diameter
input shaft. They both have the same number of splines so that's why they
seem
to interchange.
