Re: T5 T-5 transmission to 235 inline or V8 with 10 spline the easy way

A 1/2 socket and snap ring pliers will change the shaft from the front. I used a 3 inch cut off wheel to cut both pieces. I pulled the 4 bolts that hold the throw out bearing sleeve and cut it off the trans to avoid nicking the shaft. I held the grinder on angle and spun the shaft to get a uniform taper. Everything else is just basic nuts and bolts. I measured 2 or 3 times to cut the hole in the floor for the new shifter location from the bottom then trimmed the back of the pad and the carpet with a razor. The conversion really is amazingly simple and I definately spent 4x the amount of time reading about it than it actually took to do the job.
