AOD to T-5 tranny saw, worth it?

92hatchback · May 11th, 2008, 11:44 AM

so my tranny in my 92 gt is starting slip (which sucks) and i was telling a kid at my work about it and he told me he has a parts car that has a good t-5 sitting in it and if i wanted to tack it i could have it for free aas long as i took it out... so im thinking hell yeah ill just swap my aod for he free t-5.. would this be a hard swap, and also i heard since i have a 4:10 raerend im gunna be spinnin way to much for a manual. Think i should do it? and if so how easy would it be?

i am about to have 4.10's behind my t-5 the swap isnt "hard" its just time consuming
its pretty stright forward

what u need from his car:
t-5
pedel assymboly
clutch cable
flywheel
(get a new clutch)
transmission crossmember
not sure on the driveshaft???

traction will be more of an issue now but once u do get it u will know it..

ya i know im pretty pumped though if i do.. i mean having an auto is ok but come on everyone knows 5 spds are funner

92hatchback · May 11th, 2008, 07:52 PM

and ya i said funner haha

e3sean · May 11th, 2008, 08:02 PM

i agree on them being more fun. your car will be faster now too.

83fox · May 11th, 2008, 08:10 PM

im definatly goin to a t-5 swap this winter too. its a good thing fox bodys are set up the same for both auto and standard. i think the speedo cable in an automatic runs through the hole where the clutch cable goes

92hatchback · May 11th, 2008, 08:15 PM

ya, ive been asking some poeple alot poeple said its really not hard except for getting the clutch pedal in..

flattusmaximus78 · May 12th, 2008, 10:13 AM

Car will be alot faster then the stock aod.

Smirnoff · May 13th, 2008, 10:51 AM

uh yeah mine came stock with an auto swapped in the t-5 and i love it...

nasty92LX · May 13th, 2008, 11:17 AM

i say keep the aod. i have one and love it. I have lenntech street terminator with a 3000stall and man vavle body. I think it is much funner than a stick.

83fox · May 13th, 2008, 05:42 PM

the aod can be a real good transmission, and there are quite a few cars that run the aod and run in the low 9's. automatic trannys are great for drag racing but i really love shifting gears so im swappin to a t5 this winter

fastford3388 · May 13th, 2008, 07:00 PM

you need to swap the crossmember to go form AOD to t-5? I thought they were the same

flattusmaximus78 · May 13th, 2008, 08:29 PM

83fox I couldn't agree with you more. But in this situation the stock aod sucks. Have it built and stalled then it's a differn't story.

Smirnoff · May 13th, 2008, 08:37 PM

slammin gears is too much fun to keep an aod in it

83fox · May 13th, 2008, 08:42 PM

haha yeah it takes a lot of money to turn an aod slushbox into a 9 second transmission. and i take pride in being able to drive a standard. its funny a lot of people my age cannot drive one
