Didn't see this post, I know its kinda old but anway... From looking at the different options, I think the F-body issue was that the imput length wasn't going to be right. The pilot shaft diameter isn't an issue since I found that bearing that fits thats for the 5.0 v-8. As for shifter location I'm not sure what the difference is, though further back would have saved some extra work for sure. I never got that far with it though because of the imput issue as I remember. Not saying you couldn't swap to another imput, but that was more than I wanted to get involved in.

On another note, I just finnaly got around to rebuilding the trans after burning up the imput and counter shaft thanks to towing a trailer to Kansas! Anyway, for any naysayers about how well one of these holds up, I have beat the crap out of it countless times, multiple passes down the drag strip launching hard on sticky track surfaces, and managed to blow the rear end up TWICE and the trans was still fine... The trailer tow thing overheated it I think and ruined the gears.. As much as I like working the volvo now and again, its really not suited for towing. Maybe with a NV4500??? Hmmm

Most of the GM T5 transmissions use GM's bolt pattern on the front, sometime in the 90's they swapped over to the Ford bolt pattern. (maybe with the introduction of the WC) Tail shaft housings swap over from one T5 to another very easily, as long as the tailshaft is the same length. Or you can swap the mustang input shaft into the camaro T5 as long as the gear count is the same.

Jason (or others),
Did you ever have any issues with fluid leaking from the area in the picture below? I am trying to figure out if I have a seal problem or the area where the shifter originally mounted has fluid sent to it and it is over flowing out this hole. I just replaced the seal, but still have the leak. Seems like when I take off from a stop, I get a little line of it on the ground. That leads me to think it is building up in the area where the detents for the shifter are, and all coming out this hole at once from the force of taking off. -Spenser

Since Jason isn't on the board very often any more, it may be a little while before he sees this, but I remember him saying he did have a problem with leakage from that area and had to try to seal it up somehow. I think he said he eventually burned the trans up on a long trip after it ran low on oil.

Well thats not too encouraging!
It seemed like it had a small drain hole in that area to allow fluid back to the case.. But I tried to plug it off and isolate that entire area, and use grease as a lubricant instead. Evidently there is still fluid getting up there somehow. I may have to re-think the entire extended shifter mod. It would be nice to encase it all somehow... Spenser
