C'mon guys, you missed this.
There is no 4th gear in a T-5. 4th gear is achieved by joining the input and output shaft together for a 1:1 ratio.
If you use the counter gear from the 87 T-5, you'll need the matching speed gears for 2nd and 3rd. The gear ratios are different and the 85-89 ratios will not interchange with 90-93 ratios.
Synchros, sliders and shift forks will interchange fine, it's the gears that are the problem. 5th gears and 3.37 1sts are the same, but if you swap the counter gear from the 87 trans to the 91 trans, you'll need to use the '87's 2nd and 3rd as well

Nice catch. The gears have a different tooth count between those two years due to the better alloy gear design in the newer transmissions.

u dont have to look inside to know the gear ratios are different in the different production years of the T5. The T5-Z has even another set of gears different from the 2 already stated.
well on the borg warner tags they say they are years 86 and 90. but i just need to use the 2nd gear form the 91 in the 87. is this possible? i counted the teath and both have 31 so is the overall size of the gears different? help guys!
also i dont need to swap 4th gears and cluster anymore i just need to put the 91 2nd gear in the 87

If the tooth counts are the same (original & replacement) for 2nd and 3rd gear, then they should interchange......
