What kind of transmission did a 1995 Mustang have?

What kind of transmission did a 1995 Mustang have?

A GTS was added to the lineup for 1995. There were 6,370 produced–4,848 5-speeds and 1,522 automatics. GTSs came standard with the basic equipment that made a Mustang a GT. This included the 302cid pushrod V-8 powerplant, Borg-Warner T-5 manual transmission and a Traction-Lok axle.

What was the torque rating for the 1995 Ford Mustang?

These improvements paid off quickly and by ‘93 the torque rating for the T5 transmission had jumped up to 300 lb-ft, a huge improvement from its previous 265 lb-ft rating. For the 1994 and 1995 Mustang years, Ford added deeper bellhousings to the T-5 transmission, which helped to make the input shaft longer.

Can a Ford Mustang 500 get a T5 transmission?

The 500 has a 500 lb-ft capacity and the 600 has a 600 lb-ft, which makes them very easy to remember. Typically this transmission upgrade requires a new bellhousing and yoke, but depending on your individual model this may vary. There are even conversion kits to allow first and second-generation Mustangs to accommodate a T5 transmission.

What’s the longest running manual transmission in Mustang history?

The T-5 is the longest-running manual transmission in the history of the Mustang. As the Fox Body Mustang evolved, so did the T-5 manual transmission. First introduced halfway through 1983, it was a significant step forward in transmission engineering and design.

When did Ford stop using the T-5 transmission?

Mustangs were first equipped with T-5 Transmissions in 1983 and continued using them for all V8 applications until the 1998 Mustang. The T-5 continued to be in use though, as the manual transmission of choice for V6 Mustangs until 2010.
