One of the nice things about the T5 is it sure is quick to remove one from a 240.
I wanted to check my bellhousing alignment, to make sure I am with the 5 thou requirement.
Fortunately I was able to dig up a mag base and a dial indicator in 1/2 a thou gradations.
I am actually surprised how well they turned out.
Forgive the orientation of the photo but I didn't see any more then 2 thou from the zero, which is ridiculous. I almost don't believe the numbers.
I did notice that two of the bolts holding the top cover on the T5 stick out enough to make small divots in the adapter plate. I don't think this will be a concern but I am going to file them down.
I also noticed this verbiage from tremecs T5 installation tips about crossmember.
"Crossmember
It is important to have the crossmember located properly to the rear mount location on the transmission.
Modifications that result in an ?overhang? or cantilevered mount will result in a vibration and potential to cause
severe damage to the transmission. Proper mount height and crossmember location are very important to
maintain correct driveline angle."
The crossmemebr I am using definitely has a cantilevered mounting geometry. I am curious if anyone installed one of these with a crossmember that doesn't.
