T5 Five speed slant six 74 Dart Sport.

Nice job, looking great...

i'm in similar position. really trying not to cut the cross member out, so went with standard bell and clutch, an Aussie ford falcon/ holden 10 inch 10 spline plate, an adapter for bell to trans, Dakota roller spigot bearing. I had my t5 input shaft nose sleeved to .750. think the throw out bearing is dakota or jeep as well, a smidge bigger in the bore and fits well

i took an 80s chevy s10 tail housing with mechanical speedo. machined the scroll at the end of the 5th gear flat like a world class one.
Machined an indent into its circumference for the 5th/reverse brake Tab
Cut 5mm off the end of the 5th shift rail.
And then the NWC s10 housing bolted up no probs and i can shift into reverse.
This rail is longer on T5 transmissions that have a stud in the side of the case towards the rear that isn't the torx or hex head pivot bolt for the reveres finger, and isn't the back up light switch a 3rd THING on that side = long 5th shift rail.

I've a RHD car so the shifter from a camaro that is bent to cover the fact that the camaro has the transmission mounted at a 22* angle works really well for me stick bends to driver

i took the attitude that i'd cut bits off the case and use the truck-centric forward shifter position rather than cut a big chunk out of my floor.... will just have to see

This set up work with a bench seat.

But i aint got it in yet so it all just plans that may not work....

i got the idea for the s10 stuff off thi site from a post here t5 trans swap?
"Cageman" is using a first year s10 , trans mount and hydraulic master 84 or something. check em out on rockauto, all of these parts are different on later s10s take that into account if you follow his plan. the 1st year mount and the 1st year offset clutch master are what he is talking about...hydraulic clutch is just added complexity i'm not bothering


and this is what i did to fit on the s10 tail

Technical - T5 Transmission S10 Tail/extension


i.e you do not have to stick with the annoying ford position that needs to have the cross member hump cut out totally if you move the stick so its not in that position
it also means it would clear a bench seat

however the s10 trans in total would be no good... truck ratio and weaker
its the tail housing you want

for none bench seat people swan neck on the shifter?
