Most people are modifying existing manual shift bell housings to accept the
JT5. If you decide to use an adapter plate you will have to specify a longer input
shaft or extend your crankshaft pilot bushing, otherwise the factory bushing
will work fine. We can supply longer input shafts on certain models to correct
for up to 3/4" of back movement. The shifter, and cross member mounts are
within range to compensate for 1/2" movement as well. Here are some useful
measurements:
Measurement Location
Front mounting face to end of tail housing
Front mounting face to transmission mount C/L
Front mounting face to shifter C/L
Front mounting face to end of input shaft
Input shaft pilot bushing diameter
