T-5 tranny ?'s - Page 2

That all depends on how easy you drive it. As long as the tires are the 'weak link' in the traction chain, they will spin before you break an axle/diff/tranny. This assumes that you're not driving it like you hate it.

I'm sure we all know people who's broken T-5's on stock 5.0's on street tires, too!

YMMV...

Thanks for the clarification. Can't you also buy the super duty gears and replace the guts in your tranny for a higher rating, or do you also have to find shafts and so forth?

I was wondering the same exact thing, Keith

yes you can replace the guts in a tranny and get a higher rating,doing a little research come to find out the 93-95 V8 T5's had a higher torque capacity than,the 85-92 V8 T5's.

The reason being the 93's had gears made out of 8620 steel the same material that roller cams are made of.

Hanlon and D&D have the heavy duty gears available for 149-250 dollars.
