haha, i didnt read the whole post... i just finnished a t-5 swap yest.
but mine doesnt look like that. and my trans. brace is pretty sh***y.
actually, mine is lined up perfectly. no prob's. at all. like I said, you had to have been hit from behind and off-centered everything. thats exactly what happened to my previous totalled mustang that I took the trans. out of this week.

Can anyone tell me the theory behind this AOD to T-5 trans swap? Because it is not making any sense to me, how would this cause the shifter to be over to the right? Is the hole for AOD cars over to the left some? If it is not then when you do the swap the new manual shifter will still be in the center. My car looked like this and it has had a new right 1/4 panel installed, telling me it was in some kind of accident. My engine was also not attached to the right side motor mount, after i fixed that it straightened it up better, but it could still be closer to the center.

it's not because of the aod to t-5 swap. i dont think so anyway.
my last stang had the same problem after someone hit my car from behind. he was more than likely rear-ended

ok but will some one explain the theory behind the AOD to T-5 swap. How does this swap cause it to be over to the right?

Here is the response I got from Borg Warner.

It may help you decode your own T-5 ID tag:

Thank you for your interest in the TREMEC brand product. The T5 model number 1352-169 is a world class produced for the 1986 ½ Mustang, Capri, and aftermarket V8 application. I do not believe Ford was required to etch the component parts in this year, so this transmission would not have a VIN number engraved. The 1352-169 has the following gear ratios;

1st 3.35

2nd 1.93

3rd 1.29

4th 1.00

5th 0.68

The G1363 is the build date.

G the seventh month, July

13 the day of the month

6 is the year, in this case 1986

3 build on the third shift.

The Borg-Warner is the original manufacture of the T5 transmission series. The 1352-066-919 is a raw casting number for the case. If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.

Stupid question:

what is the diff between world class and non world class T-5?

gspfunk

Non WC has a 2.95 1st gear and lower tq rating

WC has 3.35 [or 3.27, can't remember] and 300 lb-ft tq rating

so, did 87 mustangs come with a world class T5 from the factory?

I'm guessing no....

so is this an 86/87 truck t5, or a lincoln lsc t5, or a motorsports t5?
