T5 Seal and Bearing Questions

[DRRummel]

I have a new project and have a couple of T5 questions. I have picked up a 1995 Cobra. So the T5 should have that special tapered input shaft bearing. The rear oil seal on the T5 (along with the engine's rear main seal) was leaking. I pulled the seal to replace it. But I don't remember how the yoke sleeve comes out of the tail section. I have the new yoke, bushing/sleeve, oil seal and u-joints.

So, how does the yoke sleeve come out?
Since the T5 is currently on the bench, should I replace the input shaft bearing? If so, is it a simple R&R or does it get shimmed?

to take the bushing out you have to take the back of the case of and knock it out

There is no need to change the input shaft bearing. You do however need to dismantle the tail housing to get the bushing out. Its not hard to do. Drive the roll pin in on the shifter cup until the cup moves freely. Take out the housing bolts. Its right there. Be sure to clean everything and use a good sealer to re seal the housing. The 5th gear oiler is a bitch to get back right so be carefull. Itlikes to move around when outting everything back together. Use grease.
