Transmission Question

SlaXX · November 26th, 2010, 09:52 PM

i'm doing a tranny swap from t5 to a more intact t5 we'll say.. and on the new one, the bearing retainer is chipped a little bit on the outter end.. this worries me, however, i own 2 other bearing retainers and neither fit because the one that came on this new trans has a wider bearing end and a different bearing size and all that... now i dont' have money.. so i can't tell a shop to make me a new one.. is it ok to use one with a chipped end? i assume all it does is insert into the clutch... so if MOST of it is there is it a problem?

if its anywhere the tb is gona slide up and down on itll ruin the tb, and you sure you didnt get one from a 94-95?

SlaXX · November 26th, 2010, 10:04 PM

i'm not 100% positive.. but i think the dude told me it was rebuilt and had some hardened things on it. but i got it for 100 from a buddy. so i'm not gonna complain.. but its only the tip that's chipped..

dont use that lol a new ones 40 bucks. Nice 300zx

SlaXX · November 27th, 2010, 02:07 PM

well yeah but that's my issue. i have other ones and they just aren't the same size. idk wtf is up with it.. but i'm going to my buddies tonight and we'll see if we can come up with something.. if not i guess i'd have to go to a trans dude. and thanks. it's my brothers.. we're doing the twin turbo swap in a few months..

93hatch · November 27th, 2010, 02:16 PM

if you get a new one for a fox and it doesnt fit then you might have a t5 out of a 94-95 since their input shafts longer, or I could be wrong, dunno if they use the same bearing retainer. Sean will know. And fuck good luck, most cramped engine compartment in the world lolz

SlaXX · November 27th, 2010, 02:46 PM

well my buddy said they were all the same.. til 95 i think he said.. but either way it's the same length and all that.. its just that the piece that fits inside that bearing is bigger.. so idk.. and yeah i know it'll be a pain.. but hey.. it's my bro.. you know? so we'll get her done.. plus i have an autocross group and i'm hoping he'll come if his car's a little better.

93hatch · November 27th, 2010, 02:49 PM

did the shims stick in the old one so it looks different?

SlaXX · November 27th, 2010, 02:53 PM

no its just like... idk. the thing that fits inside that bearing is just bigger in the new one.. point blank.. and i can't even transfer the bearing to a diff retainer cuz this retainer is like bored out more to fit the bearing.. it's weird.

this is the one you need

New Mustang T5 5.0 83-93 Steel Bearing Retainer T-5 HD - eBay (item 360312591396 end time Dec-21-10 04:16:02 PST)

make sure it has a seal in it.

all you have to do is use your old bearing race and the shims behind it.

make sure you check the shaft play when its back together.
