Tranny swap which flywheel September 14, 2005, 11:58:44 AM I have a 5.0 5 speed turbo coupe with a ****ty tranny. I'm pretty sure its something week becuase it has hydrolic clutch. (don't know of any good ford tranny's with a hydrolic clutch) Well I'm swapping in a turbocoupe t5 from one of my parts cars. I'm getting the pedals, bellhousing, and clutch from my other parts car. It has 1978 302 shortblock witha turbocoupe t5 behind it. Should I just use the flywheel that is already on the car recieving the swap? Or use flywheel from the 78' and not have to resurface it? I remember the imbalanceeing different between certain years just not sure on which ones. Thanks for any help. Patrick Quote Selected

You were using a hydraulic clutch on a 5.0??? Quote Selected
