Restore proper drivetrain geometry on your 1979-1995 Mustang with this bellhousing separator plate from All Classic Parts. Installed between the engine block and T5 transmission bellhousing, this plate provides proper spacing and plays a critical role in maintaining correct starter alignment. Designed for Mustang applications equipped with a 5.0L or 5.8L engine and T5 transmission, this separator plate is an essential component for a proper drivetrain installation.
Correct fitment for the 6-bolt flywheel application. This separator plate is spec'd for engines using a 6-bolt flywheel pattern paired with the T5 manual transmission. Using the wrong plate, or omitting it entirely, puts the starter in the wrong position and leaves the drivetrain without proper support at the bellhousing junction.
Proper starter indexing starts here. The plate provides the structural datum that allows the starter to be correctly indexed and shimmed for consistent engagement with the flywheel ring gear. Without accurate shimming, starter noise, premature ring gear wear, and engagement failure follow. This plate gives the installer a solid, repeatable reference surface to work from.
