i was reading one of the forums and was wondering what a T5 is...can someone please tell me?

 

5 speed manual transmission

 

A T5 is a 5 speed manual transmission found in foxbody mustangs. 1979-1993. I think they were in the 1994-1996 as well. They are a common swap for a classic mustang.

 

Where can you get a T5 and how much do they cost?

 

COOL!

is where you should look at to get a set up....


the cost can vary between if its new or old and what your set up currently is.....

 

And fox body turbo tbirds too.

 

what if it came off a 4 cylinder? would it still fit into a 289?

 

i think they still work but there is something weaker about them......

 

I put a T-5 in my 64 1/2 vert to allow for interstate driving. The actual tranny itself I got for free. It was shot. I rebuilt it and bought the adapter kit to use a 3 speed bell housing (if you use a T-5 bellhousing you need to clearance the firewall) and it bolted right up to my 289. I used a repop 3 speed shift **** and nobody knows. The driveshaft had to be shortened 1 1/2 inches. Really easy and straightforward swap.
