Will a Cluster gear out of a manual 1996 v6 mustang fit into a T5 from a 90 5.0 notch?

thanks!

Dont know if the cluster will but if you get the tranny and the correct bellhousing for that tranny it works. I ran one for 3 years and had no issues until i added the nasty clutch combo that i have for sale right now...haha. I think there geared different to, my car picked up like 3-4 tenths when i switched from my stock broke one to this one....But really, i dont see why not, contact a ford mechanic at a dealership or something

I ask this because, i did it. When I rebuilt my trans I put a gear cluster from a 96 v6 T5 in my 90 T5, it worked well for a least 2 months but now its getting stuck in reverse and ever since I've rebuilt i Get a vibration at 80mph......

well what would cause me to pick up 3 tenths?????curious to know

does the cluster gear sound like my problem? before I rebuilt the trans someone told me that all of the T5 internals are interchangeable... hence the reason why I used the cluster gear....if I replace the cluster gear do you think this will fix my problem?

really need help on this thanks....

it could fix it but endplay and proper shim in the retainer should be used also

yea, I used a friends dial indicator and I to the best of my knowledge I did the shim part right... idk... I guess the only way to know for sure is to take the thing back out again...
