T-5?

[thrty5thsc]

Hey guys, Is the t-5 from a 4 banger really diferrent from a 5 liter t-5?

 

[NYthurobreds1320]

yes. the 4cyl t5s have a slightly smaller tip on the input shaft so u need a different pilot bearing. they also have different gearing. 3.97 for first gear..if uve got 4.10s ur first gear is gunna be gone with a 4cyl tranny...some people say they are weaker some say they are better. i guess its all how you drive because there are guys well into the 11s with a 4cyl t5

I got a good one for 80 bucks. i'm keeping the motor stock. I will be using a zex kit though. Set at 75 hp for now.

heck yeah go up to 125... i had a stock 5.0 with 125,000 miles on the engine and blew a 125 shot allllllll day long without any problems.. even had the stock fuel pressure regulator and stock fuel pump that also had 125k on em and never had a prob like all summer long

 

[NYthurobreds1320]

yeah 5.0 engines take to nitrous like a fish to water...but you should be fine with that tranny

 

[thrty5thsc]

I got an AOD for now. I'm sure i'll go to 125 soon. I haven't sprayed it yet because of some issues i been having with the car running rough. It's gotta be right ya know. I got a brand new dry kit off ebay for 500 shipped.

 

[thrty5thsc]

Ohh, stock gears. This car was untouched when I got it last year. Nothing was ever done to it.

 

[NYthurobreds1320]

so prob 2.73s or the optional 3.27s? with that low of a gear that 4 cyl tranny is gunna feel nice

 

[NYthurobreds1320]

M = 2.73
Z = 3.08
E = 3.27
should have one of those letters on the door tag

 

[thrty5thsc]

Is it on the door or the body. I swapped my doors for 89 doors with the mirror on the side instead of on top.

 

[NYthurobreds1320]

im not sure off the top of my head...but there is a tag on the rear that can tell you wat you have...either way if it hasnt been changed then the gears are low enough for the 4cyl tranny and ull still have a first gear lol

 

[NYthurobreds1320]

or you can just do the ol' turn the rear wheels and watch the driveshaft spin trick

 

[thrty5thsc]

Nah, if theres a problem i'll worry about that when I have to. I can't wait to get it in there. The AOD sucks!

 

[NYthurobreds1320]

yeah youll be fine..and yes aods suck lol

that what i did to my vert man what a dif!!!!
sorry to see her go

 

[thrty5thsc]

I'm on the 2nd one since i bought it a year ago. I think I put 6 or 7k on it. You can just feel that it's robbing power. I'll probably have to wait like a month before I have the rest of the parts I need.

 

[cledusdtrucker]

what else do ya need?

 

[thrty5thsc]

I need the Bellhousing,fly wheel and clutch. I have the t-5, clutch pedal assmbly and the cable w/adjustable quadrant. oh. I also need a fork.
