    T5 Project Coming Up

    I just bought a new T5 from Modern Driveline. They announced that they were raising pricing at the beginning of the year so I wanted to get the lower price. I got the forward shifter version with the electric speedo option and the standard OD (0.63 if I remember). With my tire size and rear gear I should drop my RPM at 65MPH from ~3100 to ~2200.


    Stay tuned for project updates.

    T5

    Wikipedia says:

    The TREMEC T-5 is a 5-speed manual transmission for longitudinal engine automobiles. It includes one overdrive gear, a light-weight aluminum housing, and is adaptable for four wheel drive use. It is manufactured by Transmission Technologies Corporation, under the TREMEC brand name. The T-5 was originally designed by Borg-Warner based on the T-4 and earlier SR4, and was sold as the Borg-Warner T-5 until the design was sold to TTC.

    Larry,

    What shift lever did you use for your conversion? Length? Did you get one of the optional shifters?
