Help Installing Short 5 th Gear
Anyone with experience installing short 5 th? Are there are special tools/proceedures required? Any tips? Does the transaxle have to come out if the spare tire well has been cut out?

If you have a cut spare well, you do not need to remove the trans. It would make life easier, but you dont need to.
swapping is fairly straight forward: -remove rear plug (you will need a new one as the old one is destroyed removing) -remove bolts holding aluminum tail housing -remove main shaft bolt (under the now removed rear plug) -pry off tail housing (be carefull not to drop the "outside" half of the bearing while removing! -pull "inside" half of bearing -remove snap ring -press out the drift pin on the shift fork -remove exisiting 5th gear grouping -remove the bolt retaining the 5th speed gear on the secondary shaft -pull secondary 5th gear installing the short set is the reverse procedure. Be sure to loctite the shaft bolts upon re-assembly! Hope it helps! -Nick
