T5 ?
 

I was wanderin if there is a difference between the 5 speeds from the 4cyl and th 5.0s?

RE: T5 ?
 

The input shaft area where it goes into the pilot bearing is smaller and it has a different gear ratio in first I believe. I also think it is rated to less power, but it will work in a 5.0 with a different pilot bearing.

yes strength is the main diff!! 240 tq capacity vs 260?? up to 300 ft lbson stock t-5's depending on your year excluding cobra t-5 and z-spec t-5.......and the input shaft tip diameter is smaller on the 4 cyl t-5 and requires a different pilot bearing than a 5.0 t-5 does 4cyl = smaller bushing/pilot bearing:D ratios are also closer in a 4cyl t-5 making it feel more like a road race tranny in a 5.0

Hey mjr,

Quick hi-jack...
How you liking the AZ weather and the track?

RE: T5 ?
 

I run a 4cyl trans in my 87. Overdrive is the worst part about it, I have an 83 turbo coupe trans which has .81 overdrive, most have .79. With 4.10's highway driving is done around 3500rpm cruising. You to get a pilot bearing bca 202ss or 202ff. Either will work. The trans will hold up just as well as a stock 5.0 t5. I've gone 11.90's on mine.

MJR your in arizona???

glad to see your having a good time on vacation mjr :) your post count has gone up drastically recently =P <3

to the op the main differences have already been posted, strength really is a key factor.

RE: T5 ?
 

being bored has a key factor to do with that not much goin' on here..we rented a car for a few days and monday we're headed to just across the border to do some shopping in mexico!!!;)

RE: T5 ?
 

make sure you get mexican auto insurance...there are a couple of agencies that sell it on the way down, or try and get it locally.

Oh, and stupid me... I should have told you there is a large car & bike show every Saturday (one of the largest weeklies in the country) at the Scottsdale Pavillions...The 101 Freeway and Indian Bend.usually winding down by 8:30. Maybe you can catch it next time.
