 13. Here's the complete bellhousing...  13. Here's the complete bellhousing and adapter plate ready to bereinstalled on the engine to receive the T5 transmission. It's a simple setup, as the CPC adapter plate allows you to run a T5 trans and retain the original bellhousing, thus the factory clutch linkage. From here, reassembly is just a matter of putting the engine and transmission back together as you would if the Top Loader were being reinstalled.  14. The resurfaced flywheel...  14. The resurfaced flywheel is reinstalled using the same bolts, which are then torqued to 70 ft-lb with a torque wrench.  15. The clutch disc is clearly...  15. The clutch disc is clearly marked "engine side" to ensure it's correctly installed on the flywheel.  16. With the supplied clutch-alignment...  16. With the supplied clutch-alignment tool, the clutch disc is set into place on the flywheel.  17. The pressure plate is...  17. The pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel, while the alignment tool holds the clutch disc in position. The pressure-plate bolts are torqued to 30-35 ft-lb.  Top loader four-speed vs....  Top loader four-speed vs. T5 five-speed gear ratios.  18. With the clutch and flywheel...  18. With the clutch and flywheel assembled, the bellhousing is reinstalled on the engine.  19. Using the same bolts,...  19. Using the same bolts, the bellhousing is secured on the engine by thoroughly tightening them.  20. Now the T5 is installed...  20. Now the T5 is installed by mating it up to the CPC adapter plate. It helps to have two people to support the weight of the trans as it's being installed. Try to get the face of the transmission case as far as possible onto the adapter plate before installing the bolts. The goal is to get the transmission's input shaft as far into place as possible, seating the end of the shaft in the flywheel's pilot bushing before final tightening of the transmission mounting bolts.
