    You'll need the trans, bellhousing, shifter, cluth disc, pressure plate, adjustable quadrant, and cut the welds on your cross member and move the mounting pad towards the rear of the car.

    Thanks for the quick responce!

    what i was wondering was there are some wires that go to the T5......are there spots on the TKO for them?

    this is what mu budy is selling me

    Tremec TKO transmission
    Dynotec Aluminum Metal Matrix Drive Shaft
    McLeod Blow proof steel bell housing
    King Cobra pressure plate & clutch for the TKO imput shaft.

    is that all i need?

    The he is talking about is the reverse light switch. You just transfer the sensor to the TKO. You also need a Yoke for the front of the driveshaft.
    I would suggest a B&M shifter because the stock TKO shifter sucks.

    I am pretty sure that you only really need to change the clutch disc. Generally, everything else is the same, except you need a 26 spline disc.

    I would check out a RAM clutch as a replacement. They have never let me down. I run a RAM 300 and launch the car at 6k RPM.

    The t5 shifter base is different then a TKO. For the bellhousing, go with the McLeod and save yourself a lot of alignment headaches. It should be checked, but I have never had to align one.
