well, i decided to tackle the gear boxes tonight.  i needed to get my doubler in before i can figure out my rear pinion angle.  anyways...


so i had a spare t5 ready to put in when i had the chance because my old one grinds a lot in 4th.  well, i broke it (the spare one) trying to put it in after inspecting my clutch.  i didnt have the angle quite right, and when i was trying to draw it in, i broke the pilot bearing portion off.  on top of that i also broke an ear off of the bell housing.




the good news was my clutch as in good shape.



anyways, i ended up slapping the old trans back in with a spare bell housing i luckily had.  then i went ahead and put the doubler in place.  i still need to clock it up more, but this gives me a good idea of the condition of the rear drive shaft.  it looks like it will be really short, about 26" from u-joint to u-joint.

and finally, my rear shaft angles
