I am in trouble! I bought a T-5 off of Ebay. It doesn"t have the right input shaft. The guy told me it was from an 86 mustang. The clutch in my svo has many more splines than the transmission. The bellhousing also doesn't lineup with the holes in the transmission. Could this be from a 5.0 or V6? Can I get it to work in My SVO?

I don't know much about t5s but I'd say you got a 5.0 trans, not the 4 cyl. one(turbo is the same as the regular 4 cyl. I think-it uses the same clutch at least). I'd say no you can't use it, the trans is useless for your application.

The clutch has more splines than the input shaft? While I was reading this I was thinking the exact opposite. The SVO clutch disk should have a 10 spline hub.

I'm wondering if someone didn't swap transmissions in the SVO before you owned it. Maybe threw in a RAD or SROD when the original T-5 failed.

You've sat both transmissions side-by-side and compared them right? Are they identical? They should be.

To get that trans to work, you're going to need a bellhousing for a T-5 since it doesn't sound like you have one. You'll also need to get the right clutch, or at the very least, a clutch disk with the same diameter as your current pressure plate with the right hub for the T-5.
