Sounds like it's broke to me. I'll give you $500 for the whole car just so you don't have to mess with it any more.

By the way, that bolt that is in your way holds the lever that operates reverse I believe..
Also, go ahead and take the bellhousing bolts loose from the engine and drop it all as one assy. Unless I am forgetting something it can be done that way. It will be more of a pain in the ass but then you could worry about that one bolt with everything outside of the car

Well finally got to where I could get a good bite on it & didn't budge with 1/2" impact or 2 people & a 2' power handle, heating did nothing nor did hammering it. Decided that it must have been cross threaded from Ford. Being as the bolt will have to be replaced, thinking of just cutting the head off to speed the process.

I doubt it was crossthreaded, it's probably seized up from corrosion on the threads. You might just want to pull the tranny with the bell housing, and work on it out from under the car. If the threads in the bell housing ARE messed up, you're going to have to take it to a machine shop to get a helicoil put in it, unless you have a kit to do it yourself.

I have done clutches where the bell was attached. Is It normal on fix t5 to have a small gap (fingers width) that doesn't easily push up? Assuming so with the new parts & collar, given how little it is all spines have got to be aligned, is this correct? Wanted to be sure before I user the trans bolts to close the gaps.
Also installing aluminum driveshaft, marked all points on original but cant anywhere that says there is any particular way of installing the new one to insure balance. Some say the aluminum requires no specific orientation. Thanks all.

put driveshaft on and if it vibrates, re-install 90º rotated... do this until it is back smooth again. Not a difficult task. Loc-tite on final one.

there is a yellow paint mark on the driveshaft. Align that with the with the factory yellow paint mark on the pinion flange and you will be good to go
Sometimes tranny's will be a pain in the ass to push all the way up. The t-5 in my old cobra used to give me and Brian hell anytime we were reinstalling it. Most other cars we never had a majo problem with. Did you grease up your bearing retainer?
