So lads...
I've collected (or at least ordered) most of my parts. I just have a few questions, and want someone to check to be sure I haven't forgotten anything.
This is going into a 1993 245 auto car.
I have a T5 (260 box) out of the later V6 mustang.
I have the correct 1992 5.0 input shaft to swap over, but what ancillaries do I need for this? I've read about adjusting preload, and I assume I need a shim kit or something yes?
I have the RogerDee adapter to go onto an M47 bell housing from my 87. I'll need to punch out the notch on the bell, but meh...
I have the flywheel from JohnV for LH2.4 and drilled for a 228 pressure plate.
I have a Saab Viggen 228mm pressure plate
I have a Ford Thunderbird turbocoupe clutch disc
I got an aluminum driveshaft for a mustang because I was bored chasing jackbutts around in the web to get one shipped, and there was nothing in my yards. This is paired with Yoshi's adapter.
I have a Ford 5.0 input shaft bearing
I still need to get the (Volvo?) throwout bearing... mine worked fine, but looks beat.
My 87 244 will be donating it's pedal box. This is where I'm at. I've read some posts saying you need to take out the dash... I've read some others saying it's a 1 hour job to just unbolt it. What/how do I do this? I was (in my head) thinking I'd just swap clutch and brake pedals over, and thus not remove the actual box... can I? Should I?
Also, the hole for the cable? What needs to come out of the car for me to drill this? I don't have a right angle drill, but I could probably snag one if it makes the job markedly easier.
What other ancillaries am I missing/should I get? Rear main seal? T5 internals/rebuild? Do I need a new bearing for the front of it when I change the input shaft?
