What kind of transmission does a Ford T-5 have?
Aftermarket adapters to mount the Ford T-5 are available for AMC V-8s, Ford flatheads, and early 1950s Chrysler Hemis. Adapters for GM T-5s are also available for these same cars, plus Buick V-6 and Chrysler flathead 6-cylinder.
Can a 3 speed transmission fit on a Ford 300?
Depending on the origin of the transmission, most will fit directly onto the 300 with few modifications. However, three-speeds from non-Ford vehicles or Ford automobiles may require modifications, according to Hemmings.
Can a 4 cylinder transmission be used with a V-8?
Although the V-6 and 4-cylinder input shafts are 14-spline and will fit with the proper clutch disc, they are not recommended for V-8 applications. They do not have the higher torque ratings required for the V-8 units without upgrading the internals.
What kind of transmission does a Ford Mustang use?
Factory manual transmissions used behind the modular engine all have internal shift rails, as opposed to the external rods used on transmissions such as the Ford Toploader. Starting in 2005, the shifter used in Mustangs was a semi-external setup, eliminating the longer shifter rail.
Can a T 5 transmission be swapped with a V-8?
These should not be interchanged. Late-model T-5 bellhousings used on earlier Ford V-8 engines will bolt up, but the late-model fulcrum for the fork needs to be replaced with an early-style fulcrum installed on the inside of the housing to align the throw-out bearing fork.
What kind of transmission does a GM T-5 have?
The 1983-92 GM T-5s that were coupled to V-8 engines have a 26-spline, 1-1/8-inch input shaft. The GM 4-cylinder and V-6 T-5s used the 3.52 through 4.03 ratios and were 1-inch, 14-spline input shafts. Later model F-Body world-class versions of the GM T-5s used the lower, 2.95 to 1 ratio gearbox and are the most sought-after for GM applications.

What was the transmission ratio on a 2.3 turbo Ford?
The 2.3 Turbo Fords used a few units that were 4.06:1. Speedometer drive gears were 6, 7 or 8 teeth, but may have to be changed, depending on engine and rear-end size in the transplant vehicle. Changing of the speedometer gear is a definite requirement when installing a transmission and V-8 unit in a 6-cylinder, and vice versa.
