Thread: T5 behind larger vehicle

Tweet

well aware of Mr Forte. He is truly a resource to this board.

installed by me, a TKO would be $3k +.
my point was that locally T5, T-3550 w/ bell, clutch, pressure plate, slave, shifter, etc was running $800-$900.

If I was looking to go auto, yes, I could find a c4/c6 at the junkyard and rebuild it...

I have a WC t5 in my 34 Ford. 383, 3.42 gears. I modified the countershaft with a stronger bearing with a preload. I don't do drag race starts or powershift, but I lean on it every time I take the car out. No problems since 2003. I know they are not the strongest, but for my uses, it has been great. The quiet, smooth shifting make it a good choice for me.
