I want to thank every for the wonderful heart felt comments. It really means so much to me. Like all videos a common question often comes up. One was "why did you throw out a cover that could be fixed by welding or plugging it?" If I am working on a job where the component could be easily sourced used or new I am not going to waste my time as well as the customer's money ( which they pay by the hour ) to give them a part that may be compromised by welding. These are very thin die cast covers and tend to warp when welded unless of course one uses proper preheat methods and bolts it to a case during the repair. I have bins of covers as well as new covers in stock because they do get dented and cracked often from people damaging them removing and installing the transmission. In this situation it was not worth the time to repair.

Great video! I bought a T5 conversion for my 1967 MGBGT, to the orginal engine (4 cylinder) from Dave at Fab-Tek. In the process of making another trans tunnel plate (it enters the cabin differently in the car, can't use the orginal) for the shifter wirh my son. I am also re-wiring the entire car and taking advantage of the engine out. Slow an steady progress.

It sits behind a SBC 355 vortec roller in an 86 Grand Prix. A must be upgrade is to get rid of the stock shifter. I have a Hurst with stops that prevents overshifting unlike the sloppy stock shifter.

This is a great video! I've got a lot of experience with mustang world class t5, but had not had the opportunity to work on a non-world-class Camaro T5. I have one in an LS swapped 81 Ford Fairmont. He uses a combination of GM main case, 26 spline input shaft, 27 spline output shaft mustang tail shaft extension and shifter plate assembly. Works very well. And has lasted up until a few days ago when I broke the input shaft shifting aggressively in the third gear.

Welcome back, Paul. Although the last few months were clearly not pleasant, you appear to be in good spirits. Many years ago, you taught me that the shiny synchronizer surface on the gear should be scuffed so that the new brass synchronizer ring will grab it better. Since the mainshaft is bad, and 2nd and 3rd gear are not perfect, you could mention there is an option to use a WC mainshaft and WC mainshaft gears, but retain the NWC cluster gear. However, I know the purpose of this video is to remain NWC-specific.

I worked as an engineer for plasma and flame spray equipment. Not a good choice for repair on shafts that are subjected to the high PSI needles produce. Best is hard welding.

Welcome back! Informative teardown, bummer on the shaft & cover. That hole looked like it had a rubber plug of sorts. I wonder if the unit was leaking, and somebody was able to shoot some oil through there every once in a while (from the top or through the floor). Random: I see a large can of linseed oil in the background (e.g. 33:30). Does that have automotive application, or is it from a different project? I can honestly say I've never used the stuff outside of paint and wood conditioning. I hope making videos helps get you guys back in the groove.

I'm curious where in the NYC area you are from? One thing I miss about not doing LGA anymore is hearing that distinctive accent. 😂 Great video btw, I'm learning tons!
