In order

"Issues I had":

Yoke for the drive shaft... I assume you shortened the fron section of thedrive shaft and installed a conventional slip jont and yoke.

What disk did you find that works?

Pilot bearing .. I assume I can turn, drill and ream one to fit from oilite bronze.

I lost ya on the fork. Is this a trans shifter part? This I would be especially interested in a picture of!!


"Issues I plan on having":

Tranny mount. I assume the T5 mount will be farther back than the M40 mount and maybe a little lower?

Bigger?

My guess is a substantial mod in the upper shifter area? Probably a lot like putting a rear shift M40 in a 122.

Also, interference near the bellhousing due to tranny width? I have read the T5 is about 9.5" wide at the top.

Sound like you have addressed all the main obstacles at this point and are picking em off one by one!

A web site is cool. Hard to fit that one into your priorities at this point though, huh?

Keeps us up on your progress!!!!

Thanks Ozzi
