Are all T-5 trannys the same?
My 5.0 '95 5-speed is showing signs of wear.... harder to shift, especially to first, sometimes does not want to come out of gear, synchro crunch from time to time.
I did a quick local search on CL and found several t-5 trannies, but 1 was labeled as a Chevy t-5 out of a 1991 camaro v6, so I wanted to know if all 5-t transmissions are created equal. If not, is there a list somewhere that tells me which will fit my 5.0?
Thanks for any help in advance.

no you need a mustang t-5 and the only two years that are a dirrect swap for your sn-95 are 94-95 t-5 mustang tranny..if you use one for a fox body you'll need to swap the input shaft from a 94-95 to the fox t-5 and 4 cyl mustang trannies are weaker and have a smaller pilot tip on input shaft.....

just to throw somethin out there..on the fox trannies..they had that neutral safety switch plug on the top of the tranny...if he put a 94-5 t5 in...would it still work without that switch there??..only reason i ask is we just got done puttin a 92 t5 in a 95..after switchin input shafts of course..but it has the hold for the plug ..we just put a plug in it n didnt worry but i just didnt know if itd be different goin the other way sn t5 into a fox.

My 4cyl tranny has held up fine from low 13's to high 11's and its not even a world class t5.

.......I was just making a statement of fact according to advertised torque capacity rating of 240 ft lbs for 4 cyl ones vs 265 and up for 5.0 t-5's..I have used a 4cl tranny in my 92 for a short while but I didn't like the close ratio of the gears and the OD that felt like a road race tranny

Cruising down the highway at 3500rpm in 5th and only doing 75 definitly sucks.I got lucky and gotthe one year where the thurdtirds had the .82 overdrive, the rest have .79.

RE: Are all T-5 trannys the same?
OK next quick question, how hard is it to swap the input shaft from my old t5? Or maybe I should ask, how long should it take once the tranny is out?
As I'm understanding this, any Fox platform 5.0 t5 up to '95 should fit my '95 with input shaft swap and plugging the neutral switch. Are all 5.0 t5s equipped with the same gearing?
I wanna just upgrade, but I'm not sure if I can afford that right now. Eventually I'm shooting for 400 whp.
Thanks,
--------Andymon
