G-Force T5 gearkit feedback/tech?
Hey,
Ive had a quick search of the forums but have no luck so heres my question: If anyone has experience with the G-Force T5 helical gears? If so: 1) Due to the design of the bigger tooth faces, how loud is it compared to a standard T5? 2) Are they semi-helical or the angle exactly like factory? 3) Are they planning of producing a 0.8 OD? (or thereabouts) Thanks heaps in advance. |

Thanks Satanpez, I know about the G-Force site, but unfortunately it answers none of my above questions.
I have tried emailing them but have never recieved a response. |
I guess no one knows??? :(

NSW, Australia? If so, welcome to another Aussie ! Look us up under "Local Clubs" on the top toolbar of this site.
Mike Long makes a truly world class product. The next manual trans that I buy will be the GF5R 5 speed G Force trans. Mike spends quite a lot of money on R&D to make sure his products are right to go - even before he has released them to the public. As far as I'm aware, no-one on ClubCobra or FFCobra have used a GF T5 kit yet. Some of the Mustang guys at www.corral.net have purchased the internals, but I haven't noticed any feedback about them. Might be worth asking over there... |
Hey Craig, yep another Aussie here. Your car sounds nutz btw.
Thanks heaps for the corral link, most of my questions have been answered already and I've just posted a topic there. :3DSMILE: Cheers, Vic |
Vic,
You might want to look at your post on Corral. You posted asking about G-Tech.... That's the performance analyser that plugs into your cigarette lighter ! :) About your username - OZVENOM (a Brisbane Cobra builder) put a Tial wastegate and blowoff valve on his turbocharged Lexus V8 Cobra. Great quality stuff !!! My car's fun to drive - it couldn't turn a corner to save itself, but it accelerates well... |
Thanks Craig... that what happens when I'm in holiday mode!
Yeah, TiAL take pride in their workmanship, and I know they work as well. |
Tial, I would bet the gears are noisy. Think about a jerico. I have a 4 speed. They make a 5 speed. Scott

T5 gearkit
Having asked similar questions about the GFT5 Gearkit, some feedback from Transmission experts is they question the 500ftIbs of torque capability of a T5, I explained the make and GForce give a very approx idea on what they think this transmission might take given certain criteria!
I think a syncro version would be marvellous with a 0.90 fifth gear (when they make that), behind a very healthy 347 engine, but if was a potential bomb, I dont want to go Toploader as they are to restrictive with 4 gears, a Richmond would be strong enough, but general opinion is poor gear change. In UNZUD (NZ) a lot of guys run the super T10 trans for racing behind big horsepower 630+ mainly with a pump to circulate/cool oil, if they dont budget for a specialised track box. I guess the bottom line is with the users and obviously being a relatively new product, not much feedback yet! |
G-Force T5
check out this link http://www.5speeds.com
now they make a new T5 case to fit TL bolt pattern. |
Hi I cant see the new casing. what's the full link?
Cheers |
The case is very new and not on the web page. Contact Paul Cangialosi at support@5speeds.com
|
Cheers,
I have bought the CTS gear kit made by Quafie UK. Hopefully this will work with it. Cheers! Vic |
Have found out that the new G-Force casing to bolt to a Tremec 3550 pattern, not a T5...
Therefore the T5 gearkit is made for a Tremec 3550... very very strange if you ask me!!! Does this mean that it won't fit 90% of users of T5 Mustang boxes??? Very strange... |
