Life is full of “if’s”

IF you have a good condition column shift 3 speed and want to keep it the 3:55 ring and pinion swap may be the answer. Canadian ring gear carriers have a slightly different bolt circle diameter and require some modification which I can help you with if you decided on that route.

IF intending on a T5 OD trans with open rear the old way is to cut off the end of the input shaft and possibly lengthen splines but lately there are a few sources to solve this by means of a spacer/adapter between trans and bellhousing. Here’s some info:
