    Thank you for this video! I've got 2 blown transmissions, one from me and one from my buddy. I've been waiting for a easy T5 rebuild video. Can't thank you enough!

    TKO-600’s are good transmissions as well. It’s really all about how you treat these transmission, a T-5 doesn’t like to be launched on a prepped surface with a sticky tire, they can split. One way to counter act that is too run a higher read end gear ratio and a lightweight rear end fluid.

      My T5 worked better with a slick and worked well with a small turbo on a stock block build. 2-3 different cars here on channel.. THe TKO isnt being made much anymore and im pretty sure they stopped making replacement parts for them. Been like that for years. TKX was its replacement...

    Perfect video, boss. Exactly what I needed to hear. I won't tell you what car/eng. my WC-T5 is going in, (seeing you're all about blue ovals), but your tutorial is splot on. Not drug out with filler, just to the point. Thanks for that. don't remember if you mentioned using the stock gear-set, and countergear. My application will be street beat, but not drag raced...(too much). Approx 300 HP, 350 ft/lbs, in a 3300lb car. Stock clutch. Stock gear set OK? Thanks again for your videos.

    I dropped the T5 trans in my 2000 Mustang 3.8 V6 & bought the parts to fix the throwout bearing but it didn't fit over my trans main shaft. It seems too be just a lil too small. And the trans seems to be a used one. So now I don't know what car my trans originally went to so I can buy the right throwout bearing that will fit over the shaft. How do I identify the trans by the numbers on the casing or the tag? IDK how to read either

    I remember rebuilding my 4 cyl T-5 years ago, pretty easy transmission.
    I got to go back through it soon because I think I’m hearing a noisy countershaft bearing, i used a cheaper rebuild kit that I got from a local transmission shop and regretted it as soon as I picked it up as it was missing several shims, and one of the washers that sit next to a circlip on the main shaft between 3rd & 4th gear was about .003’’ too thick which was causing the circlip to spin in its groove and made a noise. I had to tear the transmission apart four more times after the rebuild to find that. Lol

      @@Neomustangs now that you mention it, I think I’ll just go ahead and get the Tremec kit and go through the entire transmission again with quality parts this time.
      Hopefully they have a 4cyl T5 kit since mine uses a smaller input shaft and bearing than the V8 T5.
      Worst case, I’ll use everything else from a V8 T5 rebuild kit and source my own Timken input shaft bearing.
      As far as I know other than the gearing being different, everything else is supposedly the same between the 4 and 8 cylinder T5 transmissions.🤷‍♂️
      I’m running a 2.3T so I need the gearing the 4 cyl T5 has.
      Some 2.3 guys will use a V8 T5 but then they have to re-gear the axle.

    Have you ever heard of or ran into the issue of swamping out a t5 to a tr3650 in a sn95 and ran into the issues of hairline cracks in the dovetail of the tr3650 after being installed. Nothing is hitting in the cases and have been through like three dovetails with same issue in pretty much same place. Or should I just take the T% and build it and put back in the car?

    I've read about guys using 90' tbird v6 super coupe 5spd trans and stock are much more potent then a t5, is similar to the f150 302 trans but better I guess. I have one i may try and they bolt right up. from what I've read, ford switched to this trans which a mazda trans cause the t5 was to weak for the supercharged v6. My concerns are shifter position but wouldn't be a huge issue to fix, mainly the driveshaft length. Have you ever seen this swap and what are your thoughts? love the channel

    The counter gear doesnt seem preloaded? Spinning freely? I preloaded mine a bit and it only spins a few times. I rebuilt a WC T5 for my IROC, replaced the 3/4 hub, had the output shaft sleeved on the front by universal machine in Portland. I hope I didnt fuck up with too much preload..
