T5 Replacement in 94 Mustang

I forgot about the shifter, thanks.

Now this is starting to feel like racing. Trans change is half the cost of the car. I am hoping I won't have to alter drive shaft as I would like to get the t5 rebuilt better for a backup.

Dederich is close to me so I will go talk to him first.

Thanks guys!

If you're adventurous T5 is not a bad rebuild. I did mine myself (T5WC) before I bought Marshall's Astro. That was before Craig had MDT though, he's reasonably priced, has beer on tap, and does top notch work!

If it makes you feel any better I'm going to do a rebuild on my T56. Unless I destroyed something I think I'm on the hook for like $500.

Oh it’ll be much more than that if you allow Sean to decide which parts need to be replaced.

I heard the bearings were a pain, so no thanks. Carbon blocker rings, steel 3-4 fork, billet keys and send it. Now that the pilot bearing exists it's raceable, but I can't slam gears as fast as I like. Not coming to Hallett again next year with my pants down.

What's hard about the bearings? The input shaft blind hole bearing is the only one to consider hard. If they look good fine. If they look bad, and are bad, why would you leave them in there?

I'm ASSuming it'll be beautimous in there. I may have misspoken on the bearings, maybe it was the gears themselves. Syncros just slide right out, yeah? I'm only half remembering an article I read.

Off the top of my head all the "synchro" assemblies press on the mainshaft. Have to pull them to change the blocker rings that are on the back side. In theory you could change keys and springs but that would really suck.
