T-5 upgrade
Hi everybody, hi dr. Nick
I'm going to do a T-5 upgrade on my '83 Capri, it has a AOD from a '88 T-Bird and a 5.0 from a '91 T-Bird aswell. What do I need to do this? Starting with: 1. T-5 transmission 2. ...... Thanks for all input.

Yes you need a flywheel. You don't need an driveshaft.

OK, with help from my aftermarket parts dealer, Benny's Auto here in Iceland, my guy found a 1994-1996 T-5 for about $650, will this fit with no hassel.
Don't I need a new computer for a manual tranny.

The 94-95 T-5's have an input shaft that is 17mm longer. It can be used in your application if you replace the input shaft, and input bearing retainer. You could use it as is with a 94-95 bellhousing, but then you would need to modify your crossmember, and your driveshaft.
Is your 83 carbed or did you convert it to EFI? If its EFI, what is the computer code? Andy

So it's a wiser choice to go with a T-5 from a 90-93 Mustang, that would be a direct bolt on, am I right? I'ts a EFI motor from a '91 T-Bird, if you mean the numbers below the bar code on the wire connector, than this is the code: 2323903 Thanks

Yes, try to find the parts from an 87-93 Mustang.
The code I was wondering about is the 3 digit one, but since your computer is out of a T-bird, I probably wouldnt recognize it. Is your car mass-air, or speed density? Andy

If you are planning to use the mass air, just get a A9L computer. Look on ebay.
