Re: Bellhousing indexing
From what I've seen and understand, this is crucial to the T5 because there is no end play at the input shaft and it doesn't tolerate side play very well because of the tapered bearing. This is what I gathered from watching videos and doing a lot of reading. I have no experience with this. I don't believe the trans mounting to the bellhousing can be changed, so the difference, if there is one, is made up by clocking the bellhousing to center the input shaft into the crank. It looks like a simple thing to check and fix. My trans must be out of tolerance, which is .005,because in the last 4000 miles I went through a pilot bushing and an input shaft bearing. The closest offset dowels available are .496 and the 8BA dowel I pulled out is .404. I wanted to know if the dowel holes in the block could be drilled out to match the .496 available dowel
