I pulled mine and reinstalled from the side... with transmission. Actually more of a 45* angle to the front.

I leave the yoke in the trans to prevent fluid leakage.

Well aren't you special....5-speed and all. Way too go Tom, it's on my bucket list. Is now the time for any gaskets or rear main seal?

Dennis,

Yep . . . I've been planning this swap for 3 years, and acquiring the parts for the past 2. The engine comes out Tuesday evening - and hopefully we'll put the new T5 in the same night.

Had the engine totally rebuilt 5 years ago . . . it only has @ 2K on it - should be good to go! I plan a major write-up when it's all completed! Stay tuned . . .

Tom
