- Hi, I'm not an expert on this, so I'm totally open to ither comments on the matter... My first comment would be that it's not clear that a T5 would give any benefit other than being an inexpensive re

- There are many rations available for the T5...I like 2.87 1.89 1.28 1.0 0 .75 also 2.42 1.53 1.23 1.00 .75. The last time I checked with SVRA a 5 speed is OK since we have 5 speeds with stock trans.

- Who makes a bell housing adaptor? Does the crank have to modified for the input shaft bushing? I assume (uh oh) that clutch/PP can be adapted to the wet sleeve crank? My curiosity has been piqued. Ji

- Hi, As far as I know, there is no crank mods needed for the T5 conversion. It looks like they supply an alternate pilot bushing for the kit. You can read the installation instructions at: www.dupontm

- Hi, Last point for now, then I'll shut up. If you look at the list of T5 ID numbers here: http://www.britishv8.org/articles/borg-warner-t5-id-tags.htm you'll see that there are lots of different rati

- Rob, I think it will depend on whose conversion kit that you use. There are differences with input shaft lengths. I made my own conversion and used a T5 from a 1995 6 cylinder mustang, which has a lo

- It should be mentioned that some groups don't allow a 5-speed (e.g. CVAR). The jump from 2nd to 3rd is one reason I switched from a 3.7 close ratio to a 4.55 close ratio with overdrive. With the late

- Neat! I agree having run Larry's car for 4 years now, but not being able to find syncros that work are costing me at least a second or two a lap. This makes a T5 really appealing Sent from my iPhone

- I have seen the Dolomite Sprint gearset ratios frequently stated as 2.19, 1.57, 1.23, 1.00. I counted : 26,29,33,33 on the main shaft and 31,28,25,16 on the counter shaft. Unless I'm mistaken, that g
