what is a T-5 transmission? I have a 67 289 3 speed on the floor.

 

It is a very good replacement for your 3 speed. Check out the mustang mags for details and swap info. Or do web searches...

 

It's a 5 speed O/D. It'll take some modifications to install one in an early car but it's a nice upgrade as it allows the use of steeper rear gears while keeping the revs down at highway speeds.

 

if I want to race. (not big time just like small drags) is it faster. or worth it. and How hard is it to switch to If you have a 1967 289. Witha 3 speed on the floor?

If i bought this http://www.mustangsplus.com/Merchant...y_Code=t5_kits would i be able to put it on my car or do I have to have a T-5 tranny?

 

That link shows the kit to do the conversion. You'll still need a tranny and I'm pretty sure you need to have the drive shaft cut. Not to mention a shifter. I'd also replace the clutch while I was at it. It gets pretty pricy.

 

I have not only a 66 coupe but also a 96 GT convertible. It has the T45 which is not much different from the T5. A drawback is the transmission, especially the shift forks is WEAK. If you have any kind of power and a heavy foot ( especially if it will see the track) you should look into a TKO or Tremec. They are much stronger, but also more expensive. However they are a must for any high level of power. My GT has the stock 4.6 and it has already given me problems with the stock forks bending or breaking twice at the track.

 

I got one in mine and it works great! I don't goto to the track, but I will gas it sometimes. It is also much lighter.The is a guy on here that is looking for a 3 speed. Could be you for all a know. Maybe you two can work some out.
