I can get a mustang t-5 cheeeeep from a nephew...I think this has been covered but I couldn't find it..so will a t-5 from a mustang fit in a 92 camaro with a gm t-5.......Just want to let you know I don't think so but I'm not a Trans man or an interchange genious.....so take it easy on me..K?..Thanks

 

No. I think they line up differently or something. But from what I've read, the work it requires isn't worth it.

 

what would be a solution for strength in a gm t-5...without breaking the bank

 

You would be surprised how much the T-5 can handle without exploding. And no, the trans won't fit. The input shaft has 10 splines (not very strong at all), it isn't tilted like the f-body trans, and the electrical connectors are completely different. I'm not even sure if the yoke will fit on the output shaft.

 

On my last t-5 in a 91 i had when I was younger and dumber..I stripped out 2nd and 4th gear and cracked the bellhousing around about half the thing..It had a 305 and I'm putting a moderatly low HP 350 in mine...I just dont want it to blow if I decide to show off one day

 

I was running 11.7's on a stock WC T5. Yes, I eventually broke them(3) but I abused them everytime I turned the key. - The rustang T5 is no stronger than an f-body T5.
- the input shaft is different
- the bellhousing bolt pattern is different
- the output shaft maybe different(different model year variations)
- the output housing/shifter is different and in a different location
- the sensors are different(easy change)
4th gear isn't a gear. It's only a slider that ties the input shaft to the output shaft(1:1). If you broke the case around the bellhousing bolts, that has nothing to do with power. Thats shock-load. Either a tire hopping suspension or way to high of a side-step.

 

I guess I meant to say I scrapped the syncros on 2nd and 4th then

 

bad sychros just means either you don't shift smooth enough or it was due for a rebuild. - Nothing to do with the strength of the trans, nor was it broke.

 

every ford i have owned the tranny was going out,i know some friends wit fords and there trannies are going to hell,so even if you could get that cheap,there has to be a problem with that thing

 

mustangs are rumored to have a stronger tranny case, other than that the problems are still the same... but i did have a friend with a supercharger 351 use a T-5 that only lasted for 3 weeks though then came a tremec

 

the two trannies are completely different...input shafts are different, output splines are different, input bearing is different, shifter location is shorter on the mustang, mounts are different.....

 

thanks again guys...my wife weasled a new rodeo out of me this weekend so MY car budget went kapooie....lol
