ARGH Tranny almost dead..will new one fit??
 

K well the stupid tranny is definetely on its way out, with rattles and grinding aplenty...but no fear! I have another one! BUT..its out of an eighty six (sorry six key is broken http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/tongue.gif) Will it bolt up? I heard my 94 orginial t5 has a different input shaft and bellhousing. Is this true? I have my doubts, but better to ask you guys first rather then find out later..

I'm not sure off the top of my head. I can't remember if the change was to the input shaft in 1994, or whether or not it was only on the T45 in 1996.

The 1986 T-5 is weaker than your old one for sure.

'94 - '95 Borg-Warner T-5 300 ft-lbs
These transmissions have a different (3/4" longer) input shaft. The clutch cable
entry point on the bell housing was moved downward approximately 3" and the
cable will hit the sump of a "T" oil pan (Avaid, Canton, etc.). Large, long tube
headers will also hit the cable cover.

Looks like you may not be able to use it. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif

How much do you have of the 1986 T-5? If you have the bell housing it should match up to the 5.0, you may have problems with the tranny mount though.

Incidentally, your T-5 was rated at 300lb/ft, the 1986 unit IS rated at 265lb/ft. It has a 3.35 first gear ratio (not necessarily better with your 4.10's, it'll make your 1st gear shorter), and a needle bearing inputshaft.

I had an 86 in my 87 and when it blew I went to the T-5z, when I did I lost out of the hole bad, but then I've got 2.73:1 rear gears.

CRAP

well thanks for the help guess I will sell the piece...
