Nope, sure can't. You'll have to get a torque arm bracket for a T5. If you can't find one used that has the lips facing the right way, just drill out the rivets and get a poly bushing that has the right lips.

Re: torque arm bracket

If the bushing itself looks otherwise the same (I dont know for sure anymore, never looked at them both side by side) then I don't see why you couldn't just swap the rubber bushings over?

Re: torque arm bracket

I'm pretty sure the actual brackets are different between 700r4 and t5. The rubber bushing may be the same, but the bracket won't bolt up to the tailhousing.
