T-5

Post by OCD4B2 »

Was there any ford v8 trucks(any year) that came with a t-5? If so, then did any of em come with a borg warner 1350 t-case? I need to find an adapter for less money, 700 is too much to ask for...... :mad:

the t-5 was used only in 1984 to 1995 Mustangs, this is a manual tranny.
The C-5 was used in 1982 to 1986 in both rangers and f-series p/u. This is an Automatic.
The C-5 was also used in 1984-1985 ranger and Bronco II, 4x4 versions having the 1350 as well.

The T-5 isn't a good transmission. It's got a shitty first gear, and your only option is a $700 adapter. It never came in a 4wd configuration.

If you insist on a 5 speed, the ford ZF 5 speed is probably a better bet, and you can use a factory transfercase and adapter.

the NP435 or T18 is the best bet but you can't use the 1350 with it.
oh, and they are only 4 speeds no OD.

205, 203, D20, D21

you have alote of options. I have a 205 with mine from the factory, but alot of people use the D20. the 203/205 doubler is a popular option also. one thing I will tell you is do not use the D21, it only has 2high and 4high.

well, the "shift on fly" auto hubs suck. they break easy. the manual hubs are stronger.

the bell housing needs to be for a SB ford if that is what you want to run. get the bell housing and clutch arm. I have heard of a bell housing from a newer tranny that you can use the hydrolic slave but I'm not sure what the part you need is. I plan on doing what Nobody has done and just run the external slave from the 75 land cruiser. it seems to be the right rought for me, because I already have the bell housing and clutch arm.

Oh yea, what kinda boot can i use for the case and tranny shifter? I decided on an old d 20, gonna play with the gears a bit, maybe. And is the NP435 a good on-road tranny too?
