Transmission

[MarkAubuchon]

Will a T5 Transmission work in a 1/2 ton pickup. I have disc brakes on the front, 8 3/4 rear end, so I started thinking why not go all the way and put a new style transmission in? What do you think?

Yup check this out http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/showthread.php?t=19419

Haven't gotten the truck built yet but the 5spd is hooked up to the engine. With a drill press and a set of transfer punches you can modify the bellhousing yourself.

Oh yeah...Just ask John T-53, but first check out his install.

Don't overlook the Ford Ranger 5-speed swap ala Robert Horne:

Contact forum member Elmer Strange (1937 Dodge) as he has been running a T-5 in his truck for many years.

The correct speedo gears will depend on the rear gear ratio as well as the tire height. Without those numbers factored in, your speedo could be far from accurate.

Welcome to the forum. Post away on your installation. Whatever you run across will be good info for someone else.
