T5 Transmission Inspection
I am building a FFR replica and am using the stock drivetrain from a 1991 Mustang LX. I want to inspect the internals in the T5 transmission so I want to take the top cover off. The shift rod slides in the cover and through the rear housing to the shifter mechanism.
How do you remove the shift rod to allow the cover to be removed? There's a Torx screw in the LH side of the main case that appears to hold the shift forks in place (peeking through a 1/8" opening in the cover). Is this the key to removing the cover or certain doom? Thanks. |
Time was I could take T-10's apart in my sleep. The T-5, even with a shop manual in one hand is a little tricky. Eventually brought it to a trans shop for synchros and bearings.
For any used T-5, have it rebuilt by a trans shop, and have the T5Z close ratio gearset, and steel TO bearing retainer installed. Unless you're running stock Mustang 2.74 rear gears, the gearing in the T5 is all wrong for a Cobra running 3.55's or thereabouts. You'll fell like you're driving a mid '60's VW instead of a Cobra. Also, any used T5 will have some baggage you really don't want to install in your new Cobra. |
Try TTC's website. The manual is on there, then you can decide if you want to go further or take Jack21's advice...
