they're basically the same transmission

the gears are slightly different, but its the same thing

as long as you have the right bellhousing, it'll be fine

The input shaft is a different size is it not

91foxhatch5.0 · October 4th, 2007, 12:49 PM

ive heard its shorter...would that pose a problem?

It will work, uses same bellhousing, but you will need a different output shaft bearing to go in the end of the crank. My buddy installed one in his supercharged 5.0, it did'nt even last the summer. I can get you the # of the bearing if needed.

The problem is the numerically larger gears are also physically larger (i.e. the teeth are further away from the imput shaft). Additionally, they multiply the torque going through the transmission. So first and second gear as well as the input shaft are more likely to break.

however, in a street car with moderate horsepower, it should be fine.

Imput shaft is diffrent. Just take off yours and switch them, its easy.
