It fell out... good thing for wheel wells.. was actually lighter than i was expecting.. and my transmission jack was being annoying too... it kept bleeding down its its still got air that needs bled out or its low on hydraulic oil... either way was being aggravating..

inside the bell housings a mess.. but cant see for sure where it was coming out at... did notice the input shafts a little loose... i can move it up and down left and right.. spins pretty free.. which im sure its supposed to spin.. but dont think it should move directionally like that...

 

id agree there... which ticks me off being the tranny only has 49K on it...

 

The pilot at the end of the crankshaft keeps the input shaft from up and down movement.. if the bearings on the other end are ok. Any trouble shifting??

 

Input shaft is suposed to float a bit, when you smack the clutch hard, it don't always stay in the center.
Water wouldn't get in there so much anyway when the engine was running
Your trans is probably leaking near the top, or around where the shifter sits. Road water fromm the tires comes up there and goes right in.
My stang did the same thing.

 

from what i been told it shouldnt move more than thousandth of an inch.. this ones moving quite a bit..

nope.. shifters dry... last time i drove it i could follow the trail that leads from the bell housing's "vent" holes.. and my clutch has been slipping pretty badly the last few times...
