I am going to run through all of your suggestions as soon as I get some time to spend in the garage, hopefully today. Lugnutz... I understand what you are saying about the different TO bearings. I do have the taller of the two, but that is what came out of my original 3 speed and that is what I was using with my T5 without issue beforehand as well. 52Carl, the pivot ball was in good shape. I can't remember for sure, but I believe I replaced it along with the clip when I did the T5 swap. Thanks for the quick responses, I appreciate it. It's always good to get input from people that have more experience than I do. I'll let you know what I come up with.
