schetk - Here's a very good thread from our own T5 expert Lugnutz discussing The T5 input shaft that also has an excellent solution to your input shaft issue, without having to spend the time and effort to modify your existing shaft.

Here's a different thread by Lugnutz discussing using an adapter plate to correct for the too long input shaft. An alternative to the Jeep input shaft swap.

There are other T5 threads that talk about the modifications (shortening the tip and extending the clutch disc grooves) if you would rather go that direction. Just use the Stovebolt Search link to help you find them. wink
