t-5 from d&d

1BADSTANG · August 6th, 2008, 05:22 PM

Is the t5 from d&d worthy of a fox body with a gt40 hci combo and a 125 wet shot?

Ehh depends on what shape its in to start with. Expect it to grenade soon though.

-1 that should be just fine.

ryans88gt · August 6th, 2008, 11:21 PM

no powershifting and it should be fine

e3sean · August 7th, 2008, 01:11 AM

powershifting = bad on any manual except for the clutchless trannys

tremec is the only company that makes a T5 and it has been that way for many years since Borg warner sold it to them.

500 hp, I'd start with a T5-Z and see how long that lasts. If you kill it, then it is time to step up to a G-force or TKO or T-56.

I'm still using T5s in both my mustangs and haven't had a failure yet.

thats impressive. I think its the powershifting that kills them, what killed mine was taking out the shift stops in my shifter..

1BADSTANG · August 8th, 2008, 12:25 PM

oh and i keep tryign to find specs but i fail, is the t-5z and the t5 the same gear ratios??? i hope the t5z has a lower first so i can actually use it with my 3.73's

ryans88gt · August 8th, 2008, 03:32 PM

"The T-5z is a 1993 Cobra T-5 with 2.95 first gear set and .63 over drive. It has the best of everything. Hardened gears, short throw factory shifter, steel front bearing retainer, and tapered output shaft bearing ands a seven tooth speedometer gear. Best of all it has a torque rating of 330ft/lbs based on 100,000 mile usage. The stock T-5Z can handle up to 450 hp when not drag raced. "

Sleeper_Stang_89 · August 8th, 2008, 04:45 PM

would the T-5Z be a smart investment even if it were to see the track every other week...slicks... ~6500 rpm shift points?

ryans88gt · August 8th, 2008, 08:30 PM

If the car was going to see a lot of track duty and is making 500 hp, then I'd probably go with the G-force T-5.

Sleeper_Stang_89 · August 8th, 2008, 10:57 PM

10-4 thanks... Im gonna see how long I can make my t5 last b4 sinking the dough into a new tranny

1BADSTANG · August 9th, 2008, 12:07 AM
