I know this is probably a stupid question...but what (if any) is the difference between a V6 & V8 T-5 Tranny? I have heard that the bell-housing is different...but how about the actual transmission?

Thanks....I did try searching around for ...didnt find the responses I was looking for in the 100's of postings which came up...so if someone can enlighten me please reply or pm me.

Thanks,

Basically the internals are exactly the same with different gearing for 1st and 2nd. The input shaft has a different spline count. Other than that, they are the same.

 

i just did a post on this search again...cause my post covered just about everything.

 

clutch forks and bell housings are also different.

 

a v6 T5 will not work for a v8 will it?

I plan on slowly building a v8 for my current six banger over the next year or two. When I'm ready to drop it in I want it to be a quick affair (I don't want it out of commision for more than a couple weeks, maybe a month if I allow for the ever present hold ups that pop out of nowhere)

So I'd like to know if I need a transmission ready also.

If not... I'll just ride the 5 speed I got until it's feasible for me to put a newer 6 speed in.

 

ok...first of all and you can use a v6...just u need to use a v8 bellhousing and a custom clutch. v6 has a pretty steep 1st and 2nd so...its not as desireable............
