AOD to T5 Swap

  

7upedition -> AOD to T5 Swap (5/9/2008 11:16:36 AM)

I currently have an AOD and purchased a used T5. I plan on swapping the AOD for the T5, car is stock w/ a few bolt ons. Not a track car.

What parts do I need to complete the swap other than bellhousing, pedal assy., clutch, shifter? 

Has anyone done this, any pointers or tips?

Thanks in advance!

speedo gear on tranny side and flywheel. It is a, easy swap if you are a halfway capable mechanic. remove the steering wheel though, it will save you a kinked neck, and if you are bigger than about5'8'' and 175 then you should prolly remove the seat for ease of install.

before you slide the pedal assembly in put in aaluminum clutch quadrant, i just spent 2hrs pulling the pos plastic crappy ratchet piece of crap because it stripped and wound up with no clutch. save yourself the hassle.

hmm well when you wanna take off the old pedal assembly just drop down the stering columb you dont have to open the whole dash i learned that the hard way [:@] and yeah like some people say go with an aluminum quadrent you cant go wrong with that they sell kits on ebay ooooh and also dont forget to changed the rear main seal [:)] one last thing ones you get the new flywheel on the crank you have to spin it around a couple of times soo that the bolt patern lines up "it goes on a certain way" also learned that the hard way [:@]

heres a link hope you have fun if you need some more pointers get at me i did this not to long ago [:D]
