An S10 T5 can bolt up to a Muncie bell if it has the same Muncie pattern on the T5 case. In 1994 the S10 T5 case changed to a Ford bolt pattern case. Adapter plates are available to convert the bolt pattern to Muncie. Pictured here is a 1995 S10. You can see that the T5 bolt pattern doesn’t match the cast iron bell that has a Muncie pattern. The aluminum adapter plate is 5/8” thick and fits between the bell and transmission. A T5 input shaft is usually about 5/8” too long and needs to be trimmed. However, since the spacer backs the T5 off of the bell 5/8”, the input shaft is now the right length. I’ll still need to trim back the input shaft bearing retainer sleeve. You can see I modified this T5 so it has a 10 spline Jeep input shaft which is the same spline count as the common Chevy clutch kits.
