83 T5 in an 86gt T5
i have an 86 gt that needs a transmission i found a guy selling a rebuilt T5 for $450 that cam out of an 83, both are Borg Warner non WC. The ratios are a little different i know but will there be any problems with the swap?

Op, you'll be fine...they will interchange, but I wouldn't expect them you hold to a lot of abuse the torque capacity is lower on the 83 vs early 90's t-5's
