T-5 Borg Warner T5 Five Speed tear down disassembly Episode137 Autorestomod 

Great video. On a Monday I followed this video and disassembled the transmission. I found some worn and broken parts. During the week I acquired the parts. Friday I put the transmission back together. Saturday Morning I bolted it back in and Saturday afternoon, I took it to the track and made four passes. It shifted great!! Thank You!

Thank you guys so much!!!!! I never bother to comment on RU-vid videos, but you guys helped me out so much to help me help my brother. He has a 92 fox body with a 302 my dad twin turbo’d for him. He fused the 3rd gear tooth into the counter shaft. I’m an engine guy but was able to build his t5 using this vid and a schematic breakdown. Works great pulling boost!!!! Thank you!!!!!

My nephews son , has discovered the Automobile hobby . We watch your videos together along with a few other excellent fellas. In my advanced years I have trouble remembering a lot of the knowledge I learned and you guys are a big help . I can't lay on the floor like I used to 30 years ago and my eyes are no longer the Falcons eyes they once were . I have volumes of Assembly manuals and repair and service manuals that he can look at but this is so much easier, I started with Plymouth after I came home from Korea and retired from the Old North Assembly . You men are certainly no kids anymore but far younger than I . You are excellent instructors and I hope you continue to do so , your very thorough and have exceptional attention to detail . I would have hired you on the drop of a half dollar . Thanks for broadcasting these tutorials you've made it possible for me to continue to show my great nephew a tradition of skill . On the technical side of the comment box . I always found that laying out your parts from left to right and top to bottom in an exploding view helps keep order and helps speed up the inspection process and keep inventory on your components. Especially as you get older . Of course it requires investment in a long work bench . In my youth I'd work from a pile but those days are gone with 5 cent dogs and Eisenhower

Putting It Back Together -- the fun begins. Great video gentlemen. And Minion was totally correct. Turn about is fair play.

Wow! Super informative. Thanks for the upload!

Very informative video. Thanks for making it.

Thanks for this video. I found those special pliers at the local auto supply store (oriellys) so im glad i didnt have to wait for shipping to tear it apart! waiting for rebuild kit cant wait to put it back together.

This video has given me the confidence to dig into my busted GM S10 T5. That coupled with the equally informative rebuild video. Thanks!!!

Thank very much friend for the follow video that is awesome part of my I do appreciate your time thanks again

Excellent video!

True, JK! We wanted to show the ones that Allan uses because they were new to us. The broad head and serrations are great for keeping that big snap ring on the pliers. But yes, you can use the snap ring pliers too. Good point!

Good video Jeff.

life saver.... thanks for the vid.

Amazes me how some people have the ability to work on whatever a customer may bring in to a shop. I have the ability and motivation to do whatever needs to be done, electrical, mechanically, bodywork and all facets on MY car. But never would I have to motivation to do it as a job for customers, on multiple cars or multiple designs. I simply don't understand how people do that. Obviously repetition helps, but damn, those people are dedicated.

2:56 was having trouble there and this video helped. Thank you very much.

Great Video 👍, I liked it so much. I might pass by mustang Central, Sometime. You guys Have a killer Day 👍

Another great video...as usual Jeff. Regarding availability of the lock ring pliers, believe it or not you can actually pick up a pair at most auto parts stores. Most chain stores carry Lisle brand specialty tools. The Lisle number for them is 44900. I had a pair for years. Last year I rebuilt a Super T10 for someone and of course, couldn't find them anymore! Off to one of the local chain auto parts store I went and picked up a replacement, which were the Lisle pair!

Super good video you know your stuff

LOL well that may be in the offing but we want to find someone that is good at the process and willing to show the tricks like Allan is. So far we have not found that person.

Very great explanation. I'm thinking of rebuilding mine here in the next few months when I go to do my clutch. The problem I'm having is first and seconds gear whine when I press the accelerator.

you guys should do a automatic 700r4!!! it would be motivation for me to try and rebuild mine... thanx guys for the great info vids!! been learning alot...

LOL no worries, we were in the middle of a break in filming when I checked the video responses. I didn't cross reference the number Glad to know that you can get them there too!

haha...old school with not a glove in sight. GREAT video.

Fantastic video! I find its more interesting to watch a vid, on what could be very dry information, from someone that has a complete understanding of which they speak of. I've only made it to S2E7 but i keep chuggin. Later peeps.

So have you run into an issue with the clutch cable and header pipes? I’m knee deep into it and haven’t found a good solution yet.

great vid guys my trans went out on my mustang so ima have to rebuild it i never done enything like that but with this video it will help me out alot :] i can follow each step an not worrie lol

Would be great if you guys did a video on troubleshooting a "no start", more specifically for a fox body mustang. Just running through the basics of checking for spark, fuel, compression, etc. There are plenty forum posts on it, but i've yet to find a really nice video

Is this the same t5 transmission that's in the z31 300zx Turbos? If so what are the differences between the two? Mine is currently stuck in gear but the shifter is saying I'm in neutral. Any idea what the problem is?

i did the rebuild guys thanks this vid helped me out an everythings good with my trans no grinds an no pop outs :]

could I use a t5 trans from v6 1995 mustang are they same gears and input shaft?

Good video sar

I have a T-5 in a 69 Mustang. I have not been able to get the speedometer gear to engage. Now I have a problem with trans fluid leaking out from the speedometer cable. I’ve tried and can not find the inner seal for the end of the cable. Does anyone know where I can find the inner seal and do you agree that’s the problem? Thank you for all the great videos!

Is the synchronizer attached to each gear? I'm only 16 and new to this, I'm getting a mustang for cheap with a grinding second gear and want to attempt to fix it. I don't need to take apart the one thing he didn't right? It's just going to be attached right to the gear or around it like the other one was? Thanks liking and subbing

Thanks for the teardown, but curious about re-assembly. I backed the big torx out on the driver's side that holds that linkage inside by accident thinking it was the fill hole. How do I connect it back up inside? It has something to do with reverse & 5th.

Save yourself some time. You don't need to heat up or even remove the reverse pivot. The gear train will slide out with it still in place. Also you don't need a "special tool" to remove the countergear rear bearing.... just a bearing clamp. Also NEVER use jaw clamps on a 5th gear its a great way to damage it. Press supporting under first gear. The newer T5's have extreme press fits.

This video reminds me to hire a professional. :) Thanks guys.

Hey mate, what are the 3 holes for on the extension housing underneath where the shifter mounts?

I know you did this many years ago but are there any videos of marrying it up with an original 69 302? Maybe what parts and other changes( rear diff?)

Good video, question is the T5 off 99 mustang V6 the same as V8 Other than input shaft and retainer?

I have a Ford AU Falcon XR6 with this transmission (6cyl). At a stop it's hard to engage 1st and 2nd. But 3rd and 4th are usually ok. Once the car is rolling slightly then the gears go in with no problem. Any suggestions to fix this? Awesome video!

Quick question? I have t5 from an sn95 I got a third and fourth gear howl that increases with rpm only gears that the noise Is present in. Is it possible that the input sha ft bearing is the cause of my noise

Jeff you are indeed about not only those pliers being great, but in many cases, the only thing that will work. The same type of pliers Alan uses are the ones I was referring too and provided the Lisle number for. Sorry for any confusion.

Great videos first of all. Very informative and very easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping us do it your selfers out their. First one I saw I subscribed and have watched all that have to do with the T5 transmission. I do have few questions if you could answer when you get the opportunity. I have a 1999 (the sticker on the door says 98 but it was the first body style after the rounded body so 99) Ford Mustang with the 3.8L V6. According to the sticker on the door where it says TR, it just has the number 5 which I'm assuming at this point it is a T5. I won't know for sure until I pull it. If in fact it is I was curious about a few things. I will be getting a 1995 5.0 that is currently in a AC Cobra kit car with some upgrades already and wondering if first the transmission in my 3.8L V6 will bolt up to it? If so I plan on rebuilding it (first time doing this and a little nervous not going to lie, but your videos have given me great confidence in doing so) for this engine. What are some specific things I need to look for and do to the transmission to handle the 5.0 engine? I will be upgrading the clutch and rear end also in this process. Will the rebuild kit y'all offer suffice and be strong enough to handle the power and if so how much can the rebuild take power wise? If it does work I possibly will be putting a supercharger in the future on it as well so would it be able to handle this modification? I'm sure I'll have more questions later but these are the most important at the moment. Thank you again.

I have a 1979 Cobra original equip. do all come with a T5 trans.? Question: I can not shift the gears, is like it makes no contact, before I go to deep, how can I find out where the problem is. Do I have to remove it before I can make repairs? Thank You

Tks

I assume it was off a Mustang, but what was it out of specifically and does a lot of this transfer over (procedure, not parts) to a WC T5 and a T45?

Driving around with your hand pushing on the shifter wears out the fork shoes.

Q. Thinking of putting a T-5 in a 63 Merc. Comet RAG TOP. Have you done one ? &Is there any cut up floor boards,etc. I know hole for shifter & KEEPING THE BENCH SEAT.!! THANKS. FOR ANY HELP.

Does the t45 transmission for a 96-98 tail housing remove the same way as the 99-04 t45 tail housing? Do they both take down the same way as the t5 as far as removing the tail housing? I'm needing to swap the tail housing on my 99 cobra to get my speedo to work because I got a 98 Cobra t45 transmission for very cheap and put it in but didn't know that the speed sensor is different and my speedo doesn't work now. But I have the other t45 that came out of my Cobra and was going to swap out the tail housing to be able to use the right speedo sensor for my car because the 96-98 t45 is gear driven sensor and the 99-04 is pulse sensor.

4:25 that long output shaft on mine I can move up and down a lot. Is it possible that the bearing is damaged or is that normal. I also don't have a colored gear but a metal gear. When I removed my driveshaft last time it lost all fluid out of the trans as well. I was just going to remove the tail housing and replace the bushing but now seeing how much that timken bushing has play in it i'm not sure what to do.

Have you guys ever considered working with Classic TBirds?

Good stuff!

Special tool for end play is a dial indicator if anyones wondering. If you have never used one take the transmission to a shop and have them build it.

What kind of kit do u think i might need to rebuild the t5

Just lost 5th gear today. Thought it popped out of gear. Was only gassin up to merge on the freeway and it went.

Another student here OMG

I have 1990 mustang engine looking for t5 trans ,is 1995 and up v6 mustang t5 fit?

Was looking into a 1994 Chevy S-10 pickup 2.2L w/a 5 spd manual... Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this trans in that model truck, only the NWC version? Also great video. Very great and clear instruction.

My mustang gt 95 its poping out 1st and 2nd gear when you push hard in gas what do I need??? Someone help please

I want to find a T5 to rebuild...and not from a junk yard. Any ideas where I can find one???

If I wanted to upgrade my t5 to support 700 courses, what would I do?

does anyone know where i can find a tr 3650 tear down and rebuild video??

Hi there Guys! You are the best. I'm from Portugal and I'm having an hard time trying to find someone to solve my T5 problem from my Sierra Cosworth. Looks like I'll be doing this myself... A few years ago, when changing gear hard from 2nd to 3rd, it got stuck in the 3rd gear spot but acted like it was on neutral. I had a really hard time pulling it out from 3rd but eventually managed it. The same thing happend again last month but this time, after I managed to unlock it from 3rd, the first gear just skipped to neutral every time I let go the clutch and I had to hold the gear knob with my hand when using first gear. The next day the gearbox was fine again with the difference that it would scratch from 2nd to 3rd if I did the gearing too fast and has been like that for the last 2 or 3 weeks. What should I look for when I'm disassembling the gearbox? If you can help a brother out that would be great!

I brought a 65' impala ss with a 383 stroker and a t5 in it. Do you think this transmission will last? And any tips on how to get it to last longer while still having some fun?

Damn my cluster shaft is one of the components in my T5 that is broken. Too bad this video doesn't go into much detail regarding that.

He will pay...he will pay...LOL.

12:47 I saw some other feller on youtube (Dunno who, he did a rebuild too, or something) saying that this plate is made of aluminium, and when you row through the gears this plate has an ability to flex, making the shafts and gears more prone to colliding. He said to replace it with a thicker titanium-plate would increase the longevity of the transmission. Could this be true? Sorry, I'm new to the whole transmission thing.

you guys have been most helpful...(if you get past the corny humor). can you do the lower seat platform install? ...the new product from NPD that's for the 67-68 cougar but claims to fit in a 65-66 mustang? also perhaps see if its true that a 67 mustang roof side molding weatherstrip retainer 513A66 can be modified to fit on a 65-66, im told it can done, as im sure you know they are rare and expensive to find so this tip may save folks a lot of hassle and money.

I need a cluster gear for a later model t5

do you still recommend Mustang Central....."permanently closed"

i have to take one of these apart for school any one no where i can get a Manuel online thanks ??

Had a stock t5 in my 84 Camaro with a 383 stroker. And the t5 took a giant dump.

my first gear hub assembly is stuck on the shaft, any advice on how to take it off?

Is this for a world class T5? Or is the rebuild about the same? Thanks

I got a black speedo gear what gears would that be

Can a T-5 be retrofit into a Chevrolet trailblazer?

Tony Bendos

Can you rebuild a non world class to be a world class?

My mustang gt 95 its poping out 1st and 2nd gear when you push hard in gas what do I need??? Someone help please
