    I am using a T5 & bell housing that came out of a 1995 Mustang. I swapped out the tail housing with a mechanical speedo S10. As you can see with the engine level (sitting on bell housing), the tail housing mount is not level.

    Anyone else experience this?

    Thanks

    i noticed that, too when installing my t5. that was with an adapter plate, though. i read that mustang t5 bellhousings will tilt the transmission 5 degrees to the driver, so yours seems about right!

    I have found from another site that the S10 tail shaft has a 17 degree tilt built into the tranny mount with the drive side lower than the pass side.

    Thanks!
