JunkYard T5?

93luv · Mar 20, 2010

Ok so my AOD is no fun. Lookin to bang gears with a junkyard T5
Is anyone familiar with what year vehicles they came in?...
also, do you think they would charge less if i went in asking about a
trans from a lesser vehicle than they would if i said '5.0'

I'm pretty positive the Fox guys are able to use 4 cylinder T5's... And, IIRC, there's a slight difference in the overdrive gear used in those models - not sure if it's better or worse though.

IMO ,1st gear of a 4cyl t-5 is worthless behind a 5.0 if you have 3.55 or lower gears in your rearend. as far as priceing goes, it really depends on the junkyard. I would think somewhere around $250-350 would be a decent price for a good junkyard 5.0 T-5.
the 4cyl t-5's have a different size input shaft than the 5.0's do & a 4cyl bellhousing will not bolt up to a 5.0. so you would need a 5.0 bellhousing anyway. I would just look around for a good 5.0 trans. try the classifieds here on SN & also on corral.net.

I picked up a T-5 with everything pedals,flywheel,cable,etc for $450.00 off of craigslist.Here is a few links so you can check the numbers on the trans to see what it came from.

The turbo coupe bellhousing wont work with your car. FYI. Also the turbos from a TC are waaayyy small. If you use them to turbo your 5.0 you wont be making a lot of boost.

If you buy a t-5 off CL expect to rebuild it just because there is no gaurentee it will be any good. I would rather pay the same price or possibly a little more from a JY since most will exchange it if it's bad.

86-93 foxbodies have direct swap parts.

You can also use them from 94&95 gts you just have to use the newer bell housing. You can also use the t-5 from 94-98 6 bangers as well.

93luv · Mar 22, 2010

Good info! Right about the jnkyard exchange, even if it is a little more cuz if the craigslist trans is shot its another200 somthng for the rebuild kit...

Just curious; would a manual from a Chevy 350 work?
HIgher torque rating maybe?
i know the bolt pattern would not be the same so an adapter will be needed,
heard of 350 guys using a t5 is why i ask
