Hello, I have cam across a t5 trans that has the #s 1352-065, what I have found out, it is from a Ford 1984 Mustang/Capri 5.0 V8 http://www.5speeds.com/t5/index.html the guy that has it said he was told it was out of a 90s camaro he only wants $50 for it. Should I get it or leave it alone. Thanks Jim
$50 sounds good, unless it's missing some teeth. The '84 was an early version and supposedly was either not as durable or had some issue. I think the better ones are called 'world class' T-5's, 86's or '87 and up. Seth
Personally I would pass......Gm did use those trannies as well. Just slightly different in how they were manufactured. Get some pics of it and post it here and maybe we can confirm it is a ford T5
I'd have a hard time passing up a $50 T5 if it's in good shape, no matter what it's from. Could probably make a decent profit off of it on ebay.
My wifes Cusion step brother has it and it looks clean. If i get a chance this weekend I will take some pics of it. I know its not the good WC t5 and are rated at 260lbs torq but i was thinking if it will work it be good just to get my mave setup for a t5 and run it till I can get me a good 93 trans that is rated at 330lbs torq. Thanks for everones comment
Personally, i would pass on it too. Better to put that $50 towards a good t5 than a "temporary" setup, especially considering the work required to get the clutch to function properly. The mustang message boards are a good place to find cheap t5's.
Tnaks guys For the input TO let you all know it is a chevy t5 the #s i got off it was not on any tag bolted to the trans and I called him to day to count the input splines and it is 26, ford had 10. Heres a good link on t5 info http://www.moderndriveline.com/md_faqs/T5_1.shtml
