    I'm about the install a T5 z-spec in my car but I'm still missing afew things...
    clutch fork cover, will I have to have one off a 5.0 t5 or should any work as long as the bolt hole is in the right location (bottom center)?
    The bolt holes at the bottom of the bell to hold the bottom of the spacer plate, what size/thread are they?
    Clutch throwout bearing orientation, It has sort of a arrow on it where it fits into the fork I assume its to make sure it doesn't spin, which direction should it go or does it matter?
    Has anyone used Royal Purple Syncro-Max in their T5? How well does it work? I was planning on running Mobil-1 Synthetic ATF but now I'm thinking Royal Purple.
    Clutch fork pivot ball, suggestions on taking that thing off... The one that came with the bell needs to be replaced but I can't get it off, tried a combination wrench, and a adjustable wrench, I'm about to either taking to a shop so they can use a impact wrench but I just haven't got around to it...
    What is the minimum height the car needs to be to change out a transmission? I've asked this before a long time ago I just can't seem to find the thread... I planning on using jack stands, I have found a shop (about 40+ miles away) that I can rent a bay by the hour with a lift which makes me think how fast can I do this change...

    Thank you.
