SOLD!!!! Up for sale is a very nice S10 T5 transmission with the desirable 3.78 ratio first gear. This gear ratio is far better than the more common 4.03 granny gear S10 T5, and is perfect for an early Ford Hot Rod. This is the Non World Class version. This transmission bench shifts nice and smoothly and feels good in all gears. Endplay is nice and tight. I have not disassembled it though, so I cannot guarantee the internal condition. I got it in a lot of parts from a guy who did not know it’s history. The serial number is 13-52-145, which corresponds to an 85-86 S10 based on my research. As most of you know, the S10 trans is perfect for a hot rod since it has the shifter close to the bellhousing and works well with a bench seat. This S10 tranny has following ratios that I verified by putting it in gear and turning it on the bench. It feels really smooth in all gears. 1st: 3.78 2nd: 2.18 3rd: 1.42 4th: 1.00 5th: .72 The gear ratios on this transmission make it perfect for a hot rod, and the T5s are very light and compact so they fit in most applications. It bolts right up to a small block chevy with the standard chevy bellhousing. May need a little trim of the input shaft depending on the application. Perfect for a Flathead Ford. These T5s are becoming harder to find. I will ship on buyer's dime, which will run about $150. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
