I have successfully install a new input shaft on the M5OD trans. I was able to remove the output bearing by adding straps to my pulley puller so that it extended to the end of the output shaft. Worked great.
I have installed the M5OD trans (for an 98 Ext) into my 86 B2. I noticed that when I put on the gear shift lever (from an Exp I think) it comes close to the dash panel. I doubt I can get it into first. (4.0 engine not in yet) I must have gotten the the incorrect shift lever. What is my solution? I did need to cut the tunnel to accept the trans shift post which moved forward compared to the original location.
Tomorrow the engine goes in and I start on the wiring.
