No. 94-95 had a longer input shaft and specific bellhousing to place the shifter where it belongs.

Where the shifter belongs? 3/4" is hardly noticeable. On this project I used a Fox T5 and it worked perfectly. Just gotta use the fox bell with the fox transmission.

It's actually quite noticeable. when you can drag your knucles across the radio bezel, shifting into 3rd gear... there is something wrong.

Lots of people running around with Fox t5's and Tremec TKO's and 3550's in SN5.0's which put the shifter in the exact same place as a fox trans and no issues. A simple piece of metal with 4 holes drilled in it will correct the shifter location. Steeda used to sell them.

Never happened to me. Have you actually installed a Fox T5 in a SN and are speaking from experience?

Fox T5, Tremec 3550, TKO (pre 500/600)

Yes, I have installed them all.

Might want to review my resume before trying to call me out on something like that.

I've installed a 3550 in a 95 cobra personally but we were speaking from a t5 stand point . if no difference then why make a specific input shaft and bell housing ? Again you are talking down a bit like no one answering has any experience .

Yeah I already have your resume bud, a long history of being a complete prick all over the Mustang forums. You got banned from Corral TWICE for being a little prick to Mr. Eades about the death of his daughter. This is MY tech thread and it's helped many, if you don't like my tech go make your own 5 speed conversion thread or simply don't click on this one. Your choice.

You're putting words in my mouth now. I never said there was no difference. I actually said there was a 3/4 inch difference which was HARDLY NOTICEABLE, for me anyway. And yes, we are talking 3550 AND T5 standpoint since the bellhousings for each have the same dimensions and put the shifter in the same exact spot. The 94/95 bellhousing is deeper than a Fox requiring a longer input shaft to reach the pilot bearing since Ford shifted the motor 3/4" forward. I'm not disputing that, I'm simply saying the shifter being forward a little is a non issue if you want to install a much more widely available Fox T5 instead of the more rare and expensive 94/95 T5's.

That's it! Not a bad investment if it means you're free from having to find and pay big $$$ for 94/95 specific transmissions. Also a good addition to Tremec TKO/3550 users.

Sorry I'm asking so many questions, I'm new and this post is actually what caused me to join this forum
My buddy is giving me all the necessary parts for the swap from his 88 vert
Anything that won't fit?
I'm mainly concerned about the fox pedal assy but if there's anything else, I'd like to know now before I start pulling the trans from the fox

The fox pedal assembly won't work. You can use any V6 assembly from 94-98 and 94/95 5.0. You can use the 99-04 V6 assembly but the configuration is different for the brake light switch and cruise control. It'll physically bolt in and operate the clutch but the other things will have to be adapted to work.

Alright, thanks a few tons bruddah
I'll be buying a new clutch, mm cable and quadrant kit, speedo gear, AND pedal assembly
Another question, what's the rear gear ratio on a stock 95 5.0 gt? Are they 3.27?

there are a few available. 2.73, 3.08 and 3.27. 3.27 only came in automatics I believe. 2.73 was standard in 5 speed with 3.08's being optional.
