Tremec Swap
 
Along with my other thread. i was wondering if i coudl the complete list of parts to swap from a T5 to a tremec 3550. Please help

into a 86-93 you need:

bellhousing
trans


into 94-95:
bellhousing
trans
throwout fork

if your getting a short throw you need a different shifter
on the 94-95 you have to modify the x member a little.

thanx for the info, but anything about the cross member. i have heard of it being moved or somewhat? what about the sensors on the T5? do you have to move them to the Tremec?

Yeah, you'll need to either break the welds on your old crossmember or buy the adjustable one from Ford. I purchased the adjustable one, then put two small spot welds to hold it where it needed to be. Very simple thing to do.

As for sensors, the Tremec will have them in place, you just need to re-connect the plugs/wires onto the new sensors.

Hope this helps,

yeah like he said you have to break the two spotwelds on the underside of the crossmember, and slide it (i think you slide it back, i cant remember) i didnt even bother rewelding mine, i just left it after i broke the spot welds. the only sensor i had to move was the speedo gear, other than that the tremec comes with everything else

you know everyone told me that i needed to change the kmbr but i did the swap and it hasnt had a problem with the stock kmbr wasnt even hard to get in there. ive had it in for about 6thousand miles and no problems.

whats the point of the adjustable crossmember if you can just break the welds on the stock one and move it back? and if you dont respot weld the crossmember wont it move around a bit?
