I thought the A5 Astro kit was for the V8 trans, do they have an input shaft for the v6 cars?

Here's one of my emails with TonyOriginally posted by hoogiesngrinderz View PostI thought the A5 Astro kit was for the V8 trans, do they have an input shaft for the v6 cars?
I went out and did some measurements after getting the Model Number off of your T-5.* I found that my Ford Mustang 5.0L Style Input Shaft would be the candidate I would have to use to make an input shaft for a 6 Cyl. Camaro.* I would have to modify this input shaft as the pilot diameter of the Mustang is larger in O.D. than that of the Camaro. In addition, I would have to cut back the splines to lengthen the pilot as your pilot is longer by .335”.* One thing I would like to see in picture form from you if possible is where the clutch disc actually rides on the input splines. I don’t think there will be an issue, as one of my customers in Atlanta has built Camaro 6 Cyl. T-5’s up with our Upgraded Gear Kits with no issues. But, I would still like to see the spline area for my own interest as to know where the disc slides back and forth.*
