I swapped a T-5 for the original transmission in my '42 1/2 ton but now it appears I can't use the original brake/clutch set up. The mounting bracket for the 235 hits the side of the T-5. What have you guys done to fix this problem? Can I rework the bracket or do I have to go with a different set up? If so what works the best? I thought this swap was pretty straight forward...whew!

I think what you need to do is cut off the bolt bosses off the side of the bracket to where it is a smooth surface. That is what I had to do. Look up Cavebull from the "user list" at the top of this bar. He is around page 19 when you alphabetize the list. His photo journal has a t5 swap with great pics. You will see what I mean.
