Well my stock T5 blew up recently so I figured I would try and rebuild it. Well I got the thing apart and I figured I would take pictures along the way and make a write up for everyone else.
Tools needed -
Grinding wheel
Sledge hammer, small and large
Pick axe
Digging bar
Good solid ground, preferably concrete
Well first I got the transmission out onto my driveway. First you have to take the cover off on top, which ususally doesnt cooperate because the shifter thing is in the way. Here you make good use of the pick axe. The transmission is cast iron so it easily cracks under hard blows. The T5 and Pick Axe did not make friends in this situation. Simply hit the cover with the Pick Axe as hard as you possibly can, over and over, and the cover will become dislodged in many peices.
As you can see here I aready have the cover off and the shifter assembly apart. The shifter assembly is made short work of via the Cutting Wheel. I couldnt get a good look at the damage because the syncros, or whatever they are, were in the way, so I made use of the smaller sledge hammer, the syncros are NOT sledge hammer proof and easily crack and fall apart.
Well as you can see here, my transmission is broken. I have no idea what any of this stuff is in here, but it obviously is useless and needs to be sacraficed. So now we bring it over to the sacraficial pit, this is where you will make use of the larger sledge hammer.
Well I dont know how to reassemble it anymore. I think Im going to bag it up and bring it to a transmission shop and ask them what to do.
Thanks to me now, you know how to dissassemble your borg warner T5 transmission the correct way. Everyones T5 should be dissassembled in this way, and no other way. Stock parts should not sqirm their way back into your 5.0 mustang or any car for that matter, from now on they will be sacraficed to the V8 gods.
