Any idea what t5 this is??? No tag no barcode, my bellhousing fits nice,,, shifts good nice internals.. I can not find any info.. Any help...... Want to use behind my 53 flathead ford. Tranny had a funny bellhousing on it. Guy was throwing it away, looked like a t5 so i grabed it, hoped like hell it would work..????? Going in a 31 model a coupe, to banjo rear, 354..
Search Toyota and Supra on here. In one of the T5 threads some Aussie guys had pics of that I believe.
You'd be a lot better off finding a correct S-10 T-5. That transmission's tail shaft will put your shifter under the seat in a Model A.
Really have not thought about that, just wanted a t5 ,, at this point just need it for mock up, would like to drive it soon.
It looks like the t-5 from a chevy chevette. It might be o.k behind a stock flathead. If it didn't cost much, just put it in and see how long it will last. Then if it does break you can simply replace it with a t-5 from s-10/s-15 4x2 truck.
Unfortunately that's not a T5. I've rebuilt several. They all have basically the same main case with the exception of bolt pattern and a different tailhousing. That one doesn't even look like a T56.
It IS !!! A T-50 used in Sunbirds Monza's 4s V-6 and 262-267 V-8s and I think a few 305s. Got one in my T Roadster behind a warm 153 Chevy II soon to be a warmer 181. Slick shifting little box , most likley work just fine behind a mild flattie . Same lenght as a T-5 uses Turbo 350 yoke. Funny bell most likely was a Vega one. And asfar as the shifter location in my T it's about 8 inches or so in front of the seat. As the Brit sporty car mags would put it "falls readly to hand " LOL
Looks like JohnEvans knows what he's talking about. Here's some corroboration: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T-50...ryZ33733QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Item#300286184250
GM used them till like 84 I have one out of a 305 camero and my friend pulled one out of an 83 tras am
One interesting thing about them is 5th [OD] is not in the rear of the cast like a T-5, rather it is up front where 3rd would be in a 4 speed. All the parts are assembled on that center section and front and rear cases just more or less hang on to that. Find a older Chilton's manual ,that has a good view of the workings. I have a 15 in shifter on mine and the throw is very short like a couple of inches. Just looked at that Ebay listing ,pricey as the last one I bought was only $50. And only thing wrong with it was a missing shifter .
