4.10s are great, I just don't recommend them for most people in case they're going on the highway all the time. I didn't have a problem with 4.10s in my last car but that's just me

If that is truely the gearing you have in the trans, you can use 4.10's for normal driving.
When i went to the 600, the long first bugged me, if you have a ton of power it's not a big deal, but if you are under 400rwhp it feels way too long.
a .63 overdrive leaves you at a pretty low rpm, that's why you could get away with the 4.10's.

I was going to go the 4.10 route over 3.73's, but i've decided to just add a few more hundred hp instead.

I know my 87GT with H/C/I 3.55's spins in 1st and 2nd with my TKO and that's with an aluminum flywheel. My cousins stock H/C/I aluminum flywheel 89GT doesn't light them up but it does hook and go 3.08's (also TKO).

I ran 4.10's in my old 89 with a T5-Z that has a .64 5th and it cruised on the highway easily. If you arn't planning on boosting the car later I would put 4.10's in it.

Is there something I'm not getting here? All 87-93 mustangs came with a "world class" t-5 with a 3.35 first gear. If you did infact swap it out with another "world class" t-5, nothing should have changed.

You are right. All Mustangs since 1985 have used the WC T-5....5.0, 2.3L, 3.8L and the new 4.0 V6 use a World Class T-5.

The Z-spec T-5 is the 2.95 geared T-5. A lot of guys call it the WC t-5 incorrectly.

Also, Tremec is a brand. There are 8 Tremec transmissions for the Mustang

Yeah thats gonna happen with that tko. The TKO WILL eat close to about 20 hp over a a regular t5 and that is proven on dynos. They are heavier and beefier of course. Before I installed my TKO, i installed 3:73's. Now you need a more mods just to make up for it.

except he didn't put a tko in i beleive.

He put a T-5 in.


That's why i said calling a trans a "tremec" is a bad idea...because there are 8 of them

Until 1997. Then Tremec bought them and now makes them as Tremec T-5's

The T-5, T-45 and T-56 were all originally Borg Warner transmissions.

I like to use this to see what the trans is from.
Identifying and Assembling a T5 5 Speed
One of yours seems to be the casing number.
One goes to an 84 capri
And the other says 93 or older world class.
