Mike65 475 Report post Posted August 10, 2019 I am getting ready to install the T-5 trans into my 69 Coupe hopefully tomorrow & I was wondering if I should leave the trans in neutral or should I have it in gear when trying to install it, or does it even matter.

jmlay 80 Report post Posted August 10, 2019 I would put it in gear. This will allow you to turn the input shaft if needed rather than trying to twist the trans to get the input shaft to seat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoapony 17 Report post Posted August 12, 2019 I don't think it really matters, I just did mine a few weeks ago. I just bench pressed it up there into the car, rotated a little left then a little right and it went right in. I had it in neutral, my thought was it would allow me to turn the drive shaft to put the u joint bolts back on easier by spinning the the driveshaft.
