Larger issues are that the 05 T5 doesn't use a driveshaft with a yoke and the shifter connection is just a rod sticking out the back that is pushed, pulled, and twisted in order to select the gears. Then it would bolt to a more common bell housing. It would be possible to build one using the popular Fox Mustang gears in that shorter case. There is not another input shaft that works with that gear set. The 2005 input shaft is longer than any other T5. I got a really quick, concise reply from Stan at :
MUSTANG T5 TRANSMISSION UPDATE
I was digging around and found a site which had a bunch of T5 interchange info in one spot, and decided to drop them a note asking whether they might want to update to include the 2005-2010 stuff, since they seemed better placed than myself to know the concerns. There's some good info on YouTube at "GearBoxVideo" Some of the early T5's (Non-world class) had different trans to bell bolt patterns but most of the WC cases all had the same bell bolt pattern. I currently have a Ford V8 T5 apart waiting to be repaired and parts for a GM T5 for parts that striped the gear teeth off the input shaft. I've rebuilt about 6-7 seven of these trans. GM used a 27 spline main shaft and Ford used a 28 spline. I will have to say that Some GM T5's had better 5th gear ratios (Less tall) but you can't use any of them in a Ford T5. In your trans I'm not sure what it would be. With the 3.35 first gear set it's more like 0.92. There is a commonly available 0.80 gear set for the Ford T5's but it only gives that ratio with the 2.95 first gear set. You can change your final drive gear in your rear end to a higher ratio negating the short 1st gear somewhat or you can swap in the gear set from a earlier T5 out of a 5.0L Mustang. The spline size and count isn't really an issue as any clutch disc with the same spline size and count and diameter is all you need.Īs for question #2. Depending on the number of gear teeth the input shaft has you may be able to retro fit an input shaft that's shorter but has the same number of gear teeth. Starting in 1994 they started using longer imput shafts. The V6 trans is a V8 T5 other then the length of the input shaft. One of the links you posted answers question #1. I may be prematurely sour-graping, but some of the cost saving is probably eaten by needing a more complex driveshaft, since this one no longer uses the old slip yoke, and the shaft needs to accommodate the length changes itself.ĮDIT: dawns on me I could probably have avoided some confusion by showing just how different the darned thing looks from most of the Mustang T5s.
Anybody know anything about this adaptation, about the trans in general, or have any good resources for trying to track down more info? I'm baffled at how little info I'm finding on the later T5.
Unfortunately, even the most informative-looking post I'd found over on rallyanarchy referenced a spiffy book's guide to T5 parts swapping, but that book was published in 2005, and so doesn't appear to get into the later Mustang's T5. If the input shaft and first gear can be fixed in one fell swoop (say, by swapping in the input shaft from a '90-ish car), this starts to look very promising. Deep first gear, and somewhat less problematic, a less tall overdrive.I'm having a lot of trouble finding info about what this thing has for an input shaft, so I don't know whether it might work with a plain old 302/5.0 bellhousing and clutch and so forth.There are a couple of issues, and this is where I'm hoping somebody knows something: ADDED BONUS: While it's possible it sticks up high enough to be an issue, this version already has its shifter right behind the primary case, much further forward than the older Mustang T5s, and I think in a reasonable spot for the Falcon. What I've noticed is that 2005-10 (S197 Mustang) 4.0 V6s got a T5 as well. I've been looking for said Mustang trans, but they're neither as cheap nor as plentiful as one would hope for old Ford parts. Modern Driveline makes a super-sexy forward-shifter tailshaft housing with a super sexy price to match, hence the S-10 part.
I have an old S-10 T5 to rob of its tailshaft housing in order to move the shifter forward on the T5 from a 1990-ish ('87-'93) Mustang. I have a 1963 Ranchero with a 1973 302 and a (retch, gag) C4 automatic.
