maybe I'm paranoid, but the shift fork doesn't seem to extend far enough out of the bell? This is a stock T5 shift fork in a McCleod bell, on a 3550. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

It does look a little close.... where did you get this fork from? I'm really digging into my memory banks now, but if I remember right the '85 or '86 forks were actually shorter. Ford came out with a longer one and added an extra "A" to the part number... it should end with -AA if I remember right. What part number is your fork?

I should check. This is a '93 T5 fork. before I sold it, I compared forks with the '94 cobra T5 and it was more or less 1" longer. Perhaps it would have been a perfect fit.

Sounds like Corral time to me... my memory is very shady on the topic... I could have gotten my years mixed up.

Well you do have the longest fox body fork... as for your bellhousing needing the SN95 fork... it does sound vaguely familiar, but then again my memory banks are rusty and gunked up with Fourier and Laplace junk these days :-\
ps- is that your cage in the background?

just talked to D&D motorsports:
you can use a fox shift fork, they say it looks tight but it's no problem, works fine.
priced some parts, and mission valley ford (truck) can get me a clutch fork for $23, but I don't need it.

That is exactly the way mine looks (HD fork and Mcleod bellhousing) Haven't had any problems with it so far (25k miles)

backwards in this pic (I was just slapping it on, it's fixed now, note the pivot hasn't been even transferred, and no way am I using my 116k mile throwout bearing) ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)
