Ok I know this is the T5 group but maybe someone can help me here. What can replace a Borg Warner C-5 transmission so that instead of 5 forward gears I can get 6 forward gears any help would be great...ag673@rgfn.epcc.edu

Edgar: a 5 speed is a 5 speed and a 6 speed is a 6 speed. You can't make a reverse gear into a forward gear so your stuck with a 5 speed. 6 Speeds are available for most aftermarket applications now.

i'm going to put a chevy 2.8 v6 in a chevette is a t5 the tranny to use?

looking for adapter to fit chevy 4.3 in volvo with
4 speed m40 transmission can anyone help me

To Larry Churchwell: If you are putting the Chevy 4.3 and M40 trans in the volvo then you are adapting nothing! No one that I am aware of makes MOUNTS for this application.

Question, are the BW T-5's used in Jag conversions
actual Ford tranny's or BW units built specifically
for Jag bellhousing bolt patterns ?

To Donald Sweeney: The JT5 is based on the T5 platform and the bellhousing we cast uses the T5 Ford Pattern. It depends on what application you are using if you can swap out into a Ford unit. We make our JT5 special for the Jag withe castings. Please see www.5speeds.com/newjt5.htm.

What are the average costs of installling a JT5 in a jag E-type - all in, labor included?

Thanks

I have a T5 from an 85 S10 w/ a 1"x14 spline input shaft. I have a bellhousing from a Saginaw 3 speed which physically bolts onto the T5 that could mate it to a 4.3 90° V6. Can I buy a std. chevy 1 1/16" x 10 input shaft from a trans. parts dealer, do I have to have a custom one made, or do I have to have a custom clutch built to mate to the input shaft? How much torque will this T5 handle? Thank you!

I HAVE A 1990 C1500 CHEV.PICKUP WITH A 5 SPEED TRANS.
WHAT KIND OF GEAR OIL IS USED IN THIS TRANS.

i need some info on the t5 i called chevy because i have a 5 speed in my 91 fullsize truck they said there were two kinds of 5 speeds if you can tell me what kind i have e-mail me at pain4u98@aol.com any info would be helpful

My '87 Astro came from the factory with a T-5 and I'd like to change to a aftermarket shifter. Since nobody makes one specificaly for this application, I'll have to use one intended for something else. Will the Mustang or Jaguar shifters work as well as ones intended for GM products? The stock lever is straight and located somewhat farther back than I'd prefer due to the seat location on the chassis. I'd like to get a shifter with the most user friendly lever. Any suggestions? I'd also like to compare notes with anyone else that has a Astro with manual transmission interested in performance.

Holy Moly! I just realized the Astro has it's very own shifter that's offset to the left of the case. So an aftermarket shifter won't work. I guess my best bet is to find a junkyard Astro shifter and try to blueprint it for better operation. Perhaps some synthetic ATF will help a little. Oh well.

I am looking for a T5 transmission for my 84 Jeep Cherokee.

I'm trying to trace the origins of a T5 box, the id tag reads (V88BB 7003 AA J0882 13-52-184 21059)its bolted to a Ford 289 in a Kit car. Can anyone tell me from the the Id tag what car its from? the year of manufacture? that type of stuff? Maybe even what ratios it uses?. Thanks

i have a '70 vette automatic. I'd like to convert it to a 5-speed stick. Any ideas on what tranny to use. Thanks.

Ok, just here me out. I own a Mazda B2200, I want to stuff, I am going to stuff a Chevy 350 in it.
I know it can be done becuase there is a company in canada called Ultimate Customs that manufactures a swap kit for this particular conversion. Now my question is, can I use the T5 5 speed for this engine, while its in the Mazda. If not please tell me what Transmission I can use. I'm not looking for a 4 speed automatic. I want a manual 5 speed. any help would be greatly apreciated. thank you.

Conrad.

Mr Appa,
I put a Richmond 6 speed in my 68 Vette. Since you have an automatic the crossmember should drop out. It bolted right up to the bellhousing. On my manual I had to fabricate a crossmember..it should be easier on your automatic. I had to buy a T400 slip yoke--GM 3930827 (which you already have) and find a u-joint to mate it--TRW 20056. The transmission is a little noisier than my old M21, but it doesn't bother me. The long shifter looks like a very nice piece of machinery. I had to trim the aft end of the hole where the shifter comes up through the tranny tunnel..~1/2 inch.

I NEED SOME HELP WITH A V-8 CONVERSION IN A S-10 PICKUP I'M USING THE ORIGINAL T-5 OFF OF THE 4 CYLYNDER AND I NEED A CLUTCH 1" DIAMETER 14 SPLINE INPUT SHAFT IN 10.5 INCH, I KNOW THAT ADVACED ADAPTERS OFFERS A CENTER FORCE UNIT UNDER THEIR OWN PART #, BUT AT $145 FOR THE DISK ONLY I THOUGHT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND A FACTORY APPLICATION. ASTRO VANS USE AN 11" CLUTCH WHICH YOU NEED A 168 TOOTH FLYWHEEL FOR. I THOUGHT SOME MID 80'S CAMAROS USED A 10.5" 14 SPLINE DISK BUT I CAN ONLY FIND 9.25" AND 9.625" DISKS ANY HELP WITH THIS WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Hi, my name is Bernie Braden, and I run a company in England called Competition Transmission Services. As we all know, there isn't a decent gear set available for the T5 transmission....until now! I won't bore you with all the details here, just to say the details can be found at http://users.aol.com/gearboxman
Sorry if this looks like a "spam", but from the response already received, it would appear that there are many people who require these kits. Please give us a visit at our site if you are interested.

I am trying to put a B&W T5 World Class into my AMC Eagle AWD which has a T5.

I read somewhere on one of the pages that T5's are identified by a casting number of 13-52xxxx.

I looked at the one I have and its casting number is 13-51-065-903

This doesn't fit the template provided..
What is this transmission if it isnt a t5 and can I put a t5 counter gear stabilizer in it?

Any of you every tried to put the Borg Warner T56 in place of a Muncie. What did you use for the bellhousing? Engine is a BB Chevy,

If you have any info about the Borg Warner t56 6 speed conversion e-mail me at tkordick@ppg.com

Question #1 : I am looking for the gear ratios available for a T5 with 23 splines for 5th gear. What ratios are available, or is there only one?

Question #2 : The T56, what is the spline count on the mainshaft?

I was advised for my project that I need a 23 spline mainshaft for a T5 to connect it to an AMC viscous transfer case.

Question #3 : Does a T56 have a 23 spline mainshaft, and if not, can it be converted to one so it will be able to connect to the AMC viscous transfer case?

Has anyone swapped out a 4L60e AOD with a T56 in a 4th generation z-28?

Mr Appa, i have an 87 iroc and the t-5 is falling apart, so i wouldn't advise putting one of these in your car, but i did however contact FORTE'S parts connection. (found their add in the back of a chevy hi performance mag) and they sell two versions of the tremec, one for 1675 and one for 19 something. The one for 1675 is rated at 425 ft/lbs. So it should do well with any eng. combo you have. Their number is (781) 647-1530. they should have a kit to make the swap easy for you.

I’m dropping a 350 with a T5 tranny into a ’85 RX7. I almost positive the overdrive gear in the tranny is .74 and the stock rear end in the Mazda is 3.909. With those gear ratios I’ll be pushing around 2800 RPM at 70MPH on the highway. I’m aware that this isn’t at all good for a lot or highway driving. So far I can’t find anyone that can cut me a custom set of gears for the rear end. I was wondering if there was any way that the T5 overdrive gear can go from the .74 ratio to around .55 ratio, to help get the RPMs down, or if something like this is at all possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a borg-warner 5-speed and need help identifing what it came out of. Any help would be apopreaciated.
Casting marks are as follows: Basic 2A 13 52 066 932
1352-198. the bell housing is still attached. It has a 27 spline rear. Thank you all for any info.

I am looking to do an engine swap in a 88 Mazda B 2200. preferably a Chevy 4.3 and 5speed manual. any Info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I am looking to install a manual trans behind a 403 Oldsmobile motor in my 79 Trans Am. I was thinking of the 4+3 but I am also concidering a T-5. What vehicles should I persue to get a T-5 from? When did GM start using the "world class" T-5 and are the T-5's behind V-6's the same as the V-8s?

Thanks!

I have an 83 S10 Blazer 4x4 with a 94 Camaro 3.4(not 4.3) and the orginal Borg Warner T-4?? 4 speed. The final drive ratios are an awful 3.08 . Clutches arent lasting very long,and suspect the first gear ratio in the 4 speed to be too high with the 3.08 rear.Question is what are the ratios of the T-4?
I have a T-5 from a 85 4x4 to rebuild and swap out.
what are the ratios of this. What clutches are avaliable to bullet proof this? The 83 4x4 uses a mechanical 9.7" clutch and bell housing wont fit a larger one than that. Thanks Gary email me at Gary@tcworks.net

I was searching the net for T5 info and saw your site.

I'm building a hot rod Ford here in New Zealand, and am running a T5 five-speed gearbox.

The problem is that the shifter comes up through the floor where the bench front seat should be.

I have been looking for a remote shifter but with no luck, then someone told me that Jeeps have a T5 with a shifter that mounts fiurther forward on the casing. Is this true?

We are looking at machining a shifter mechanism to go where the front cover is, but this is a lot of work.

Would you mind emailing me with any info you have regarding Jeep T5 shifters, and if you have a shifter for sale and it suits, how much would you want for it?

Thanks for your time.

I'd like to put a 5 speed T5 into my '55 Jagauar XK-140. Has anyone ever done this and if so, can you offer some advice on what to expect; problems with installation and results when it's done. Thanks Rob, Kailua, Hawaii

I am buying a manual 5 speed for my 67 mustang with a 302.
There is a shop near my house that has a 5 speed manual.But i don't know which transmission it is.
it is not a Mustang T5(borg-warner), because the bellhousing and the transmission is one piece.I can't take off the bell housing.
the 5 gear is 0.75 and it fits in my 302.It is the same pattern.
Can you guys help me?Could you tell me the model of my tranny>?
Thanks

86 nissan 4x4 with 5-speed trans. shifter enters 5th gear position..&..feels as if gear is meshing but when clutch is engaged nothing is there...problem is with 5th gear only ....any suggestions?

Hello, My boyfriend is looking for a set of 4-11 gears for his racing chevette. Any suggestions please email me at amymefford@yahoo.com???????.

For Dave, Your 5th gear lock nut has gotten loose.

To Paul Cangialosi: I have heard that you are a "Guru" on these boxes so here goes- I am putting together a "restorod" 1956 Ford F-100 pickup using a Y-Block 312 and want to install a T-5 behind it as I've heard that these are strong, dependable gearboxes and would give me better mileage and performance than the original 3-speed, 3-speed overdrive, or the B/W T-10 units. There are apparently several sources producing adapters for this conversion. Being that the T-5 has a longer input shaft than the older units, is handy due to the incresed depth of the Ford truck bellhousing for the Y-blocks. This is where the adapter comes in. What I need to know is whether the box from an S-10, which has the shifter location I require is approximately the same internally (ratios, gears, etc.) as the unit from Mustangs and Fairlanes? The S-10 has approximately the same diameter input shaft but with 14 splines but I think the Ford unit has 10 splines. I may have a problem with finding a large enough diameter clutch (10" to 11") to fit the S-10 unit which is the size plate I'll need for the "Y". Would it be possible to replace the main shaft alone or should I swap the tailshaft from the S-10 over to a Mustang unit so I can mate eng/trans/bellhousing/clutch arrangement I need and still meet the shift location I need? Going to bench seats is out of the question as far as I'm concerned on this truck (I'd go to an automatic first and I don't like that idea at all!) so please give me your feelings about this situation. Thanks for any and all advice/help. Rick Coder coder@fbnet.net P.S. I will probably run a 3.50 to 3.70 rear end ratio, I'm not certain what trans final ratio would be most acceptable for my project.

It seems I have basically the same question as a few others here. My application is trying to drop a t-5 into a Ford Falcon with bench seat. The Falcon is shorter than the Mustang so the shifter would pop up too far back. I had heard that I could take a s-10 t-5 and a mustang t-5 and put them together to get what I want. Question is... is this possible, what is required and could it be done by a beginner. I actually dropped in the t-10 that's in the car now so I do have some skills but not much.

I need some help finding any good used five speed that will fit my 71 Chevelle because Im gonna switch my automatic for a stick and preferably for an overdirive for gas mileage reasons
