Peter, got it. Bushing on its way today or tomorrow.

BTW, I will have 5 of those Aerostar-to-T5 adaptors finished in a couple of weeks. Look for a "For Sale" ad shortly.

just wondering, on the t5 bushings that you've got, what t5 is it for? the 5.0L or the 2.3L t5? Also, what motor does it fit, the 3.o, 3.2, or 3.4? Personally I've been wanting to do some stuff with the 3.4, but I'm still interested no matter what motor it fits.

The bearing and the bushing fit inside the pilot hole of the 3.0 and 3.2 SHO cranks and over the main input shaft of the WC (World Class) T-5 from the V-8 Mustangs, specifically the 94-95 Cobra's with the the longer 7.85" input shaft.

Is there a technical difference between the T-5 with the long shaft, vs the standard shaft, that would make your bushing not work with the standard version?

Yes, I know most RWD SHO applications need the long shaft T-5, but that's not my concern.

Thanks.

wouldn't the 94/95 gt's have the same longer style input shaft? IIRC, those bodies had a slightly longer bellhousing and input shaft so that the shifter would be in the right location due to the increased firewall.

I have just started researching the T-5 Transmissions, myself... From what I have read online, I do believe the 94'95 GT's also have the longer input shaft, but the Cobra Trans has a higher power rating.

One thing that surprised me is that the shaft is longer by a pretty small amount (I think less than 1") Which is why I asked if the standard World Class T-5 Trans would make a difference.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about any of the above.

I theink they are only 7/10th of an inch longer. I can look it up for you if you really need to know. Somewhere I posted the 1352-*** numbers that are the trannies with the longer shaft.

IIRC the reason why it makes a difference is because of the necessary thickness of the adapter.
