i finally convinced my mechanic to do this swap. last sunday i went down there and he had the trans in but had not fired it up. he had to install/remove the trans many times to get everything correct as well as trim the input shaft and take some diameter off of the input bearing retainer to get it to fit and fabricate a trans mount and floor board. the 11" astrovan clutch worked perfectly in this swap. tomorrow i have to go down there to see if it's done. i'm excited and also a bit nervous because this was a high-mileage T5. it looked good on the inside but the proof will be driving.... thanks to everyone for your input on this swap.
