T5 help ! please
the problem is my T5 wont move the car I can just shift though the gears no noise or grinding or anything with using the clutch or without using the clutch but the car doesn't move , what Im trying to say the transmission just doesn't engage. Back ground story I got the car 350 with this T5 transmission sold the 350 bought a brand new 383 and wanted to use this T5 until I can get a TKO 600 , so I had the shop rebuild the T5 and I used the old flywheel and had it resurfaced and new clutch and pressure plate is new too. , so like I said put all this stuff back together and no engagement ?? could it be the flywheel ? please help !!! thanks a lot

Re: T5 help ! please
If I am reading correctly sounds like your clutch is not releasing.
Have someone look under the car and see if the clutch fork moves then you press the pedal.

Sounds almost like the clutch is stuck disengaged
How is the pedal feel? Did you install the disk facing the correct way?
Have you checked the fluid?

I put oil in the tranny ,you might be on to something with the clutch not facing the right way I am almost sure I put it on right . I guess ill just have to take it back out . and ill get a brand new flywheel while im at it . I don't know what else to do.

Re: T5 help ! please
I was thinking that the shop that resurfaced the flywheel might have cut it to far.idk

Re: T5 help ! please
I think I might have figured it out!! I will check this when I get Home and I hope that's all it is .. maybe my clutch fork is pressing against the pressure plate even when the clutch pedal is not being depressed ? that would keep the clutch disengaged ?

Re: T5 help ! please
Check your clutch fork is on the throwout bearing correctly. Sounds like you might have the fork behind the bearing, not seated in the groove on the bearing.

Thanks, I'll try the drive shaft when I get up. And I'll make sure the fork is on the release bearing. This is transmission that was in the car when I bought it. And It had a tpi 350

Well these cars never came with a 350 and a manual trans option so who knows what the previous owner did.
