I want to put a 1992 v8 T5 in my notch. All i want to know is was this a good year of tranny? any difference from the other years? i have 4.10 rear end gears so hopefully i dont have no 1st gear haha.

Thanks

whats wrong with the c4? also i doubt the t5 will hold up to the 351 in your car

i don't plan on racing it. c4 is boring even with the shift kit

t5 still probably wont hold it. how much you getting the t5 for?

yeah it's good, the '93 "z" is a little better... it's also a 2.95 1st gear so you get a little more out of it.

but i am a big fan of 3.35 and 4.10 gears, and won't go the z

the "z" is a cobra trans, reg t5 in '93 was the same as '92 t5

check http://www.ddperformance for all your t5 needs , the site changed since b4, it used to have a nice t5 guide , might still be there, i only was on for a minute looking for the "super alloy gearset" rebuild

a t-5 is a t-5 no matter what year, behind substantial power using them is a crap shot, but if your easy on them they will hold fine

getting it for pretty cheap from a friend. nitrous bob, that link doesn't work. Thanks for the info.. so is there anything easy i can do to beef it up a little bit or should i just not worry about it?

Also whats a good clutch for a 13 second street/strip car?

oops forgot the dot com...

motorsport heavy duty is adequate, king cobra i don't like even though thats what i have, centerforce dual friction is way overkill

any of the medium duty will more than suffice... zoom, motorsport HD, the $200-ish ones

for a 13 sec car a t-5 in stock form is fine, my 92 is such and the t-5 has held to many high rpm launches....now the rear that's another story
