Paul Cangialosi stopped by the shop to help me rebuild the T-5 for my Fairmont Project. Paul has been building these transmissions for more than 30 years. He also sells the rebuild kits for these builds on his website 5Speeds.com. Not to mention he literally wrote the book on rebuilding these transmissions. Definitely the right man for the job.
There's a ton of links I need to trow at you so I'm going to keep this part of the description short.

I noticed that you still have that Holden badge on your toolbox I sent you a few years ago, I just want to say, thank you Eric, for not throwing it out :)
A simple thing like that has made my day :)
+Brandon P Are you kidding me? I love that thing. I'd never throw it away. Thank you so much for sending it.
EricTheCarGuy I'm glad you like it dude! I'll try to get my hands on a few more Aussie car badges and send them over. I currently have two R31 Skyline badges (ones on my car) from the Aus delivered version, if I can get a third i'll send it over
+Brandon P
Holden , cool , I drive one of those , Commodore SV6 VZ
+EricTheCarGuy
If you'd like one, I can send you a Holden key ring , minus key , I may need them obviously,
Edit- Holden badge in post ( well tomorrow when Post Office opens ) , plus something else I thought you'd like too
+EricTheCarGuy Just be aware that your tool box will probably rust faster with the Holden badge on it.
Could this guy be any more of a stereotypical Italian NY'er gear head?! I fuckin love him! Makes me miss home
+BiffBallbag Funny most of my gear head friends ( and I know everyone in the business ) are not Italian. I did grow up in the South Bronx and am 100% Sicilian. Good call. However we've all migrated to south Florida now.
+GearBoxVideo I used gear head as I know its the right nomenclature for a man of your talents. My family owned brooklyn and hempstead harley davidson, we're Italian's ourselves. I grew up around many NY Italian motorcycle mechanics and craftsmen, you remind me of many, many dear friends. I've migrated as far south as Atlanta, still in the motorcycle industry. IS it true that the Jew's invented south florida?
+GearBoxVideo Can you get a decent slice of pizza down there?
+BiffBallbag NO!
+BiffBallbag South Florida IS offically the promised land.
I dont think Paul gets Erics sense of humor
lol I know I was like Eric just stop already
Deffently not 😂
He seemed a bit intimidated or nervous around Eric
nope....
One of the things I like about these two videos is that Paul goes a little further than other videos about showing what is happening in the disassembly and more about his thoughts on why things are the way they are. He talks about what makes a bad part- a bad part as if the watcher has little experience building the transmission- which is exactly the case for me. I have now done four transmissions-all different- but go into them now with confidence that I never had before and owe it all to Paul’s videos. He doesn’t teach it like the viewer is a dunce; he teaches it like the viewer has a vested interest in the outcome. That makes these invaluable to me. I tore apart a T5 last night knowing that if I got into trouble, he would be there, and I would have full access to the information. Thank you for that-
Paul is very professional.
It doesn't matter what make of vehicle you like or hate, after watching the entire video, Paul is obviously very skilled at what he does and has a wealth of knowledge that I respect. Great job on the tear down and explanation of what things are and why they broke.
+Doomster9 Thank you.
+GearBoxVideo Do you have any experience with astro performance gear sets or their built t5s?
I do know the company that makes their gears and have installed a few sets. Pretty much also like the G-Force sets. These gearsets still break and in my opinion not worth the effort or money. Just upgrade to a TKO or T56.
+GearBoxVideo Thanks for the info. Been debating with myself on either an astro a5, t56 or a 4r70. Leaning towards the 4r70. Going behind a turbo 351w.
+Doomster9 Yeah, that man really knows his stuff. The amount of knowledge at Eric's workshop with those two guys, is pretty darn impressive.
*"The purpose of rebuilding it- is to **_rebuild_** it..."* (Eric tilts head, awkward pause, blank stare) *Yogi Berra-logic*
Yogi also said, "You can observe a lot by watching."
Yogi for sure right there
God I love listening to people who are expert at these sorts of things. Paul is like Obi-Wan Kenobi.
It seems like Paul has done this before....
New England Dashcam yeah probably a couple of times it was funnyntomme.when Eric said I'm glad you know where everything is going because I would have no idea either I was thinking the same thing when he said that so funny
Once or twice
-KInda like having Bill Gates build you a new desktop rig and reload your computer with windows.
Starting the new year off right with a 1 hour EricTheCarGuy video. :D
A rebuild video for a manual transmission, whaaaaat?
Need to file this under rare instructional artifact in preparation for the next generation.
This is an excellent video Eric, I don't think I've ever seen such a detailed rebuild video of anything.
Among the best videos I’ve ever seen. A true expert, speaking like an expert with no ands, ums, or giggling. AND NO DAMN MUSIC.
Nothing like watching etcg on my 70in big screen. An hr long video is a perfect way to wake up today.
I'm going to have to rebuild my ranger transmission relatively soon (3rd and 4th synchros are slowly dying) and seeing all these parts are making me physically sick, like even watching this video is overwhelming. I don't really have the money to get it professionally rebuilt and I have enough mechanical knowledge to be dangerous. I'd like to have the experience of rebuilding it but I have nobody around me to teach me. Does anyone know of any book manuals or really good resources for a Mazda M5od-r1?
Koshunae Hey man, how did the job go? Did you get it rebuilt? :)
Legend has it, ole Koshunae is still trying to get the main shaft out of the transmission...
No rush or anything, but just been waiting on an answer as to whether you got the tranny rebuilt or if you set the truck on fire for insurance $. 😸
Legends say he has rebuild company
And here I was getting ready to go to bed,
Now sleep has to be put on hold.
AWESOME !!!! hope this means its time to start building the Fairmont , crossing my fingers .
+Brian Lau Well, this transmission IS going in the Fairmont.
+Brian Lau This will also keep you up to date. www.ericthecarguy.com/blog/1437-january-2016-newsletter
thanks , lol and I'm surprised you answered me. its pretty great !
+Brian Lau I try to answer comments when I have time. There's just too many to answer them all, but I like to respond to as many 'legitimate' questions as I can. Happy New Year.
It's almost artistry when you watch someone work like this know really knows what they are doing. Never messed with any transmission work because all of the pieces intimidate me with fears of missing a shim or some other item. Love the educational value you have shared with us Eric. Thank you for the video.
33:45 those wheels are not only plastic,you clearly see they scratch the aluminum pretty deep.
there is ceramic in it wich is a very hard material.
You just fuck up sealing surfaces real good with it...
www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/Scotch-Brite-Roloc-Bristle-Disc?N=5002385+3293223502&rt=rud
It's an abrasive wheel.
Its funny how eric keeps saying stupid shit throughout the video and the rebuilder completely no-sells it and continues explaining
This video is fucking incredible. Paul knows his shit.
Damn that hour went fast. I could watch this stuff all day!
wow so Eric will post this, but SELL US the clutch replacement video for the 1990/2001 civic/integra.. seems like total chicken shit bullshit if you ask me, thanks Eric !
+Integra DIY Actually, the full, extended, uninterrupted version of this videos is available to Premium Members of my website. www.ericthecarguy.com/premium-content-web/13-premium-content-videos/1434-ultimate-t-5-manual-transmission-rebuild-with-paul-cangialosi-ericthecarguy-full-extended-version
I know it's cliche, but this guy could do this blindfolded. A lot of years. A lot of skill and knowledge. Experts are fun to watch!
I doubt I will EVER rebuild a transmission but after just a few minutes watching Paul's channel and I'm hooked. You can learn things that apply to tons of other types of machinery so win win!!
Great video which was long time demanding. It feels so excellent when doing the gearbox overhauling job with the subject specialist! Also it would be a very nice idea to do overhauling on front wheel drive T5 and assembly and adjustment of differential. Will be waiting for next parts.
Great video here, it's one thing to look at a diagram and kind of assume how everything works but it's something else to have someone so qualified run you through it. Paul has a great video presence in that he not only shows everything and describes what it does as well as shortcuts for disassembly but also throws in little bits of the history and does so in a confident manner. Great video, thanks guys.
+Nazereth666 Thank You
great guy, knows his stuff, but I gotta say, he reminds me of Nicholas cage.
Thanks for the reference.
+GearBoxVideo no offense meant to you, you just remind me of Nicholas cage with your looks and you voice. I'm a thirty year auto tech, and just loved how quickly and smoothly you took that apart. sign of a true professional. :)
Thanks. Appreciate the comment. Cage used to have a cool muscle car collection.q
I want to congratulate you on this video. You have many grate videos, but this one is one of the best I have seen on transmissions. Keep up the good work!
Buying the book! And I think I'll pick up Paul Cangiolosi's book on the Muncie 4-speed too, while I'm at it. His mastery of the subject is mind blowing. He never seems to hesitate... Amazing.
You should never use a punch to install a bearing or use a hammer on a metal shaft to knock bearing loose. The correct way is to use a pipe long enough to be above the shaft and that will fit the inner sleeve of the bearing or simply use a press. Even professionals can get it wrong. You should never take chances of destroying the bearings or other metal parts fore they are not cheap. The only time a hammer is needed is to remove pins that's it. It's good thing Eric offered a rag or he would have stuck part in vice with no protection. Thanks Eric for exposing him on his work.
OMG! Steve Vai doing a transmission rebuild!
+Leandro Reynoso I only wish I has Steve Vai's chops and hair. But if you are into guitarists you may want to check the video I did with Jeff Beck on my channel.
Paul Cangialosi is a stone cold expert. That this guy knows what he's doing is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer. In short he has his shit together.
Loved this video. Yes, admitted it's above my head, but I sat here captivated the entire time & learning throughout the process. Thanks so much for these videos.
To anyone without a synchronized reverse put it into any gear then into reverse, now you don't grind reverse. I put mine into 5th then reverse and it never grinds that way.
If you have to do that, your clutch is not adjusted properly.
If you are not moving, and you pause after depressing the clutch pedal all the way, the input shaft of the g'box will be stopped, then there will be no grinding going into reverse. If yours does grind, by first putting it into 5th, the synchro of 5th will stop the input shaft. But the input shaft should not be turning in the first place!
Adjust your clutch properly.
"Look at that. Looks like Christmas!"
- Paul Cangialosi
soooo..... when's part 2
+steven bloomfield Next week
+adventureoflinkmk2 I wouldn't know.
Eric thank you for posting this video. You and Paul did an excellent job of explaining everything. Because you have this video up I am going to save myself $800 and rebuild my own T5. Thank you.
Paul is a 5 speed whisperer. He talks to 5 speeds and they listen. 4 and 3 speeds follow him like a puppy. If I ever need a transmission rebuilt it is going to Paul no questions and I will happily pay whatever he charges.
Camera shows half inch impact sitting in background.... camera comes into focus to show Paul beating on Eric's shiny snap-on wrench with a hammer... LOL
Wow, Paul knows his stuff! I do feel like he would look just as comfortable and professional in the kitchen of a very expensive restaurant. He's got that 'head chef' look about him 😋
The 1/4" angle die grinder and the green 3M bristle discs are my favorite tool too, lol.
Still watching but paused at 20 min and some change so awesome to see you guys so confident in what you do and be good at it Paul fixes and takes apart the transmission like it's nothing and Eric can fix a car like nothing.Compared to me with little experience I'd be lost but not too lost since watching these videos a few years back.Somewhere here in Western,Massachusetts I have relatives that own a Transmission rebuilding shop (or So I was told) I'd like to get into that a little bit,as confusing and difficult as it looks I like it.
Paul a great source of information and I learned a lot but then there are several things I normally don't tare into one is wiring and the other is transmissions but wow I really learned a lot thank you so much ......
That was the best video from Eric I've seen. Really informative and detailed, thanks. Awesome stuff.
Am I the only one that thinks that set of gears with the shaft would be a badass mace?Zombie apocalypse weapon of choice.
"heck no!" ha that made me laugh when he explained about the hammering. I just love the do's and don't do's in this video. I mean this video by far is one of the best videos. I learned so much.
paul talked so fast.. :O
paul could prolly do this in his sleep
+garlicson When you are trying to keep a video time frame down you need to work a little faster..
Finally picked up a T5 today to rebuild. Lol
Wow, I have a lot of respect for the transmutation mechanic.... This man is a master of trans. I'll just stick to the simple things and send my trans out... Thanks for the video
Dam ,He is a Genius..he lost me at the end were he said there is a 5/16 ball under this gear ,, don't forget it ha ha ,,,,,,, Na I was lost at the beginning ,,,,cool video
👍🏽 Fantastic channel-as a mechanical engineer who has worked in the auto sector and once contemplating a sales job for specialized gear design software .This is hugely educational. Thank you Paul & Eric.
Hell yeah. It's an Hour of Power video!!!!!!!!!
"if it's new year's eve, then happy new year, now get back to work" lol
Why there are sealed bearings in some manual gearboxes? Like oil is not enough or what? Weird...
Seals keep dirt out which is the major cause of failure in manual transmissions. They are non contacting seals. I explain this in my bearing video
Great video Eric. Awesome to see a specialist in action! It's nice to see you had something to teach him (the plastic rotary disc) as well :)
I don't think I could ever get that thing back together after taking it apart, even with diagrams and laying it out as it came apart... Respect for people like Paul with the skills for that.
Paul is the best Ive seen, I learn something new every time i watch this rebuild. Thanks Paul and Eric ! Whats impressive is how Paul never has to look at any diagrams, and always gets it right.
Hi ERIC such a video, Paul is a wizzard , makes it look so easy .
Blessed New Year Erik, may the gods of the North give you eternal wisdom for your good deeds!
You guys really did an awesome first part one this one. Really in detail with all the right shots and sooo much stuff that you'd either miss or have no way to learning otherwise.
Ha I could take it apart but it's never going back together . Happy New Year Eric.
Bravo! Paul really knows his stuff. He certainly deserves the great reputation he has.
Or just tell me how to do this lol I'm about to embark on what is a t5 rebuild. Not too worried about the rebuild, I just don't want to rebuild it and have it burn up again because I didn't adjust my clutch right. Thank you!
I just say thank you so much for nice and clear tutorial and people can learn a lot from you guys Eric and Paul.
ok Eric I have a issues with my Honda accord 1995 for some reason when I left off the gas pedal going down the road. my rpm goes up and down nothing greater then 2000 rpms an when I put my foot in the break it goes away. help!!!!! lol. big fan on yours please let me know when I can do I've heard vaccum leaks tps. map sencer I'm just at a stuck point lol.
Great video! Is there any difference between the Tremec T5 and the Borg Warner T5 that came in my 1985 Jeep CJ7? Will this & his manual cover the details of my T5?
I might have missed it in the description; can you tell us about the yellow-tinted safety glasses Paul is wearing? I have a few pairs myself which I wear when driving at night or on cloudy days. Those look like Mossy Oak shooting glasses, which I had a pair of and lost somewheres. Thanks!
Love it! Like I'm going to school. That's a beautiful transmission btw
This guy is incredible... wish he lived next door to me ....Great Vid Eric!
Thank you Paul! I subscribed to your channel (+followed on FB) and I plan to order the book this week because you have been so helpful in these 2 videos!
I already got my ebay T5 rebuild kit, it was delivered months ago and it has been sitting all winter. The good news is we've used this kit before in our Chumpcar racecar, so I'm not too worried. But your kit would have been so much better! Note, at the first signs of trouble I'll be ordering your kit!
Again, thank you!
@daddyrab999 i have a borg warner 5 speed and it is stuck in cear and i cant get it unstuck i think its stuck in 5th gear any help would help thank you for the awesome videos
I am impressed just listening to how much he knows about this transmission
I'll come straight out and say I had to take my trousers off for this video
Hey Eric, Have you used one of those roloc discs on a cylinder head or engine block before during a head gasket repair? Any issues? Has anybody else used them? They look like a handy thing to have.
Amazing info, thank you Eric for having him
TIp for pro video production- wait for compressor to stop before recording. Much better than trying to listen over a compressor. It a good excuse to grab a drink, too.
Excellent video. I often wondered when the auto salvage I dusty would catch up with the times. Looks like it definitely has. Thx for sharing.
My Jeep's Peugeot 5-speed has synchronized reverse. The T-10 4-speed does not - something for me to keep in mind when driving my '69 AMX. And speaking of clutch cables, my '78 Gremlin had a cable. When all was said and done, it was too long. I finally put a 1.5" thick block of wood by the firewall where the cable passes through, then the clutch felt nice and snug with no slop.
@ERICTHECARGUY WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE PLASTIC TOOL TO CLEAN THE SURFACES??
+Ivan Hernandez LINKS IN THE DESCRIPTION TO ALL TOOLS SHOWN IN THE VIDEO.
+EricTheCarGuy green disc 50 grit?
3M Roloc bristle discs. green is actually a little aggressive for aluminium
I had planned to rebuilt the manual transmission in my car myself, i already have the entire rebuilt kit.
But i think i'm going to bring it to someone to do the job for me lol
@Ericthecarguy I know its an older video, but i wanted to say because of this video I went out last year and snagged a T5 for my build out of a scrap yard from a firebird. Rewatching it now as i'm starting to get into the rebuild portion finally. I was looking for an ID tag on it earlier to figure out what parts to order, the only tag the box had on it was a sticker that somehow survived.... that said USE DEXTRON III ATF ONLY... little food for thought in case anyone was curious. Still disappointed I couldn't find an ID TAG, gonna have to roll the dice on my master rebuild kit lol.
I have a 89, t5 from a camaro I need to overhaul. I know it needs synchros in 1-2, and reverse has issues. I'd like to get a T-56, to handle the stroker motor I want to put behind it. I also have a 5 speed I a 92chevy 1500, with a 454 I put in front of it, its a 94 model, 340 hp,450 ftlbs. I just wonder how long it can live behind that tq? When I get it going, I plan to be easy on it! But still!!! , my camaro T-5 only has 100k on it. The plot bushing was useless in the car I put it in and didn't know it. Then it got hard to down shift to 1st. So then I noticed the bushing. I guess the bearings and synchros were damaged.. Where is a good place to source the kits to overhaul a T5? I have looked at local parts stores, and prices are all over the place!!
So I'm sure everyone has the same issues with 1st and second...I've had issues under 20 thousand miles with it ..and another 2002 f150 with the same problem ,or so I think..that's why I'm watching 😅.. but this has been an issue for 100 thousand miles on the 2nd truck.. the only way it shifts in at high rpm and then it's fine for months..but shifts when off just fine I thought it was a hydraulic issue
When your finally done doing it at home, turn back around and find theres still few parts that somehow still siting on another table you totally forgot about
😐🔫
very nice eric nice video step by step and you show if it is okey or not 101% perfect with advice.................
UA-cam algorithm brought me back to this video, watched it when you put it out originally. I have 2 T5s. One out of a Mustang GT and another out of an S10 S10 Chevrolet pickup. I'll be using the GT case and gears and the S10 main shaft and tail shaft housing for a 1965 Falcon Ranchero.
I barely even wrench on my own stuff anymore and I can't get enough of these videos. While watching I can't help but think of the engineering, testing and redesigning of parts and the whole transmission and how it is but just one 'part' of the whole car. Amazing!
dont know about you guys but to me 1st gear downshifts are a necessary evil in hairpins, blip that throttle and hope to dear god you've got it right bahahaha
Heyy Eric I just watched some of your videos and one that I just watched was you visiting your dads garage in 2010 I think. You showed his '51 Chev, very cool! I was wondering if he is still working on that car, maybe you could bring it into your shop and do some work on it and show us the car in more detail. I just hit the subscribe button and Im having a great time watching your videos! Keep up the great work bud!
Paul is the Man! His videos are great. He is meticulous in his builds and I like that. My question is this: I have a 92 S10 T5 with an electronic speedometer. Can I modify it to a mechanical speedometer. Are the mainshafts the same in both electronic and mechanical speedos? Plan on installing it in a 56 3100 truck. I already have purchased the jeep input shaft and cut down the bearing retainer
I just bought a firebird with a t5
That 3m bristle disk is far from plastic. Its impregnated with ceramics and leaves micro bits of those ceramics behind. The green is also COARSE and has no business being used for that job. Maybe the WHITE one that is 120 grit if the case is going to be flushed afterward. That disk will scratch the hell out of that aluminum as Paul seemed to notice. Bad idea using that all around. Stick to the razor blade.
I'm about to rebuild my tremec t5 from my 2000 v6 mustang that I'm turning into a drift car, im pretty scared now
I should be spending my time working so I can buy a car, rather than watching videos about how to work on a car I don't have XD
I have an Australian Ford Falcon 5.0i with a factory T5. It is a 2002 model. I have noticed the trans tunnel gets hot after driving for 20 mins. I have done two oil changes in since I bought the car 6 months ago, with no change. Gear selection is fine and no smell/smoke/grinding, although occasionally a little difficult to select reverse. Any help appreciated, thanks.
Not exactly a dynamic duo, Everytime Eric tried to read ahead And infer the next step he'd get met with a "..no" lol. I respect Paul's knowledge about tranny's I've wanted a lot of his videos in the quest to change my worn synchro. He certainly didn't seem intimidated lol, whoever said that may have had more crack than usual, so you can't blame him.
Sometimes two different personalities make for great entertainment but I'm not sure these two fit that bill.
Eric, The green 3M Bristle Disc is 50 grit with aluminum oxide abrasive mineral, it WILL remove aluminum like sand paper, ok for steel, but not for aluminum. You will see what I mean when you try to buff out the surface and the deep scratches show themselves. Other wise thumbs up to this video.
Paul Cangiolosi...
This dude's name sounds like a chef.
This dude talks and presents like he's a chef.
This dude showed up dressed like a visiting chef.
Chef Cangiolosi.
And then there's host of the show, ErictheCarGuy to sit back and secretly wants to try all the samples. SoryEric, you're not the star of the show this time.
Hey Eric, wipe or spray the bottom of your metal table with solvent, and shoot a couple layers of bed coating underneath, so every time you hammer on that table, it won't make your ears RING!!
I was like DANG after the first roll pin..
Just sayin. E
