As I said in another thread, my T-5 recently lost reverse. Well, I found out last night that it is for a Turbo 4 Cyl. car, so they make most of the replacement parts but the bearing retainer for the input shaft. So if we can't find a used one I'm screwed and have to either pay $650 for a used rebuilt T-5 or pay $700 to change my current T-5 to all v-8 parts. So I was wondering, does anyone know if the 94 to 95T-5's will bolt to the 85 bellhousing?Please tell me it's so as all the local yards don't have any preFox t-5s. I would really like to keep a 5 speed. They should have the same bellhousing bolt pattern shouldn't they?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, I would like to get my car back on the road soon.

Oh, and I forgot, are the newer t-5's the same length? Trans length, input shaft length?

im put shaft is different. the 94-95 is longer and the pilot bearing is a different size. call bluementhals in oklahoma city 1-405-232-9557 ext 105 guys name is ryan pidgeon they should be able to help you thats where i bought mine.

geddylee

you can change the input shaft though right? So I'm assuming that the 94-95 T-5 does bolt up to the 85 bellhousing then? That would be really nice.[&o]

yea it will bolt up. not sure about changing the imput shaft with out changing all the internals to v-8 stuff. the input bearing retainer should be the same

geddylee

Huh? are you talking about my transmission or the 94-95 one? the 94-95 should already be V-8 ready shouldn't it? Later on down the road i just want to use my 85 bellhousiing with a stronger, 94 or 95 T-5, for now we're rebuilding the one we have and putting it back in.

my bad i said it wrong not sure if the 4 cyl input shaft will work with v-8 stuff. sorry and also if you get one outta v-6 car its a pos they are weak but like i said not sure if it will work call that place they may be able to tell you

geddylee

that's okay, just got confused there. So my 85 V8 bellhousing should bolt up to a 94 or 95 V8 T-5 right?

white93pony

yea it will i found out the hard way that the input shaft was diff but the trans did bolt up just wouldnt butt up lacked about 1/3 inch.
