Well I finally got the 5 speed in. One day I will have a shop with a concrete floor. Working in my drive way using a sheet of plywood for the tranny jack to roll on got it stabbed after three tries. First try got it lined up and remembered I had not drilled out the tranny holes for 1/2 inch bolts. Dropped the tranny drilled and tried again. tranny would go in all but about 3/4 inch. found that the throw out bearing was binding on the hub. Down again. Used emery cloth I polished the hub and used a brake hone to lightly polish the inside of the throw out bearing. Lined her up again and everything went together like it was supposed to. I'm taking the drive shaft to have it shortened today so hopefully I will be back on the road by this weekend. Been asking around about using Royal Purple for my tranny oil. The T5 used DexronII and by what I can find Royal Purple Max is what I should use does anyone know for sure. Will have pictures of install coming. Thanks everyone.
