Just a heads up/rant if anyone else was planning on playing with there T5.

I've got an '86 S10 4*4 (5spd of course).

Tranny has been growling for some time, so I finally nailed down some time
to work on it.  Picked up a low mileage used tranny from a 2whl drive, with
the intention of just swapping over the output shaft.

Nu uh!

Was close.  Real close!  But...  it seems that the countershafts have
different numbers of teeth on them.  By ONE.  So it wasn't really obvious
until I was putting it all back together...  and something just wasn't quite
right.

So, out came the 'new' one, and back went in the old one....  bleah.  Now I
get to find ANOTHER counter shaft, tear it all down again (this is my daily
driver BTW!) and do it over.

I can rip apart and reassemble a T5 in the dark now though!    :)
