turbo coupe t5 October 31, 2011, 12:45:47 PM Hello everybody, I need to find a 5 speed for my tc. Its at a shop in florence, SC. I need one asap! Anyone near here with one they would part with? Thanks Quote Selected
turbo coupe t5 Reply #1 – October 31, 2011, 01:22:24 PM stangman. Can you find a local one from a 4 cylinder mustang or TC? There shouldn't be a difference between them. And mustangs are much more plentiful. Quote Selected
turbo coupe t5 Reply #2 – October 31, 2011, 02:06:51 PM Shredder.. you are the man. I just found one for 200 bones out of an 88 4 cyl mustang. I just got on here to ask, but you already answered the question. It will be replaced in the morning. I know it's simple as hell and I could do it in 2 hours or less. This shop is charging me 500 with me supplying the trans. They say its a 5 hour job, and also trying to tell me the only trans that will fit is an 87-88 tc. There are none at any junk yard atound here.. it! I'm just trying to get home. Lol. Thanks a lot. Quote Selected
turbo coupe t5 Reply #3 – October 31, 2011, 05:09:37 PM Does anybody know if an 88 4 banger stang trans is hydraulic? I hope they don't wanna add another 2 hours of labor just to swap that if it isn't. Ive been searching the net but couldn't come up with anything but cable clutches. Either way i'll get it in the morning, and if need be change it. Quote Selected
turbo coupe t5 Reply #4 – October 31, 2011, 09:58:43 PM The tranny should fit fine. Hydraulic or cable refers to the clutch setup. It has nothing to do the the trans. I believe the TC trans has a lower first gear. Quote Selected
turbo coupe t5 Reply #5 – October 31, 2011, 10:20:24 PM No difference in gear ratio's from TC to 'Stang if they're from the same year grouping. Only the SVO used a differnet first gear in some years. Quote Selected
turbo coupe t5 Reply #6 – November 01, 2011, 12:56:05 AM Too bad it happened before you got home. I still have the one in the tc I'm stripping. We could've added it to your list. Quote Selected
turbo coupe t5 Reply #7 – November 01, 2011, 02:40:57 AM Haha. Your right badbird. I did look at the gear ratios. They are identical. Guess they'll have to swap the bell housings. This is setting me back pretty good, so I may not be able to get the seats like I planned, but can get the others. Also do you still have the pass. Side front fender molding? The one by the bumper cover. Alright thanks guys. Trans will be here at 9. Quote Selected
turbo coupe t5 Reply #8 – November 01, 2011, 12:01:35 PM Well, the trans is at the shop.. I think these guys are screwing me over. Quote Selected
turbo coupe t5 Reply #9 – November 01, 2011, 12:40:13 PM That sucks man. That's the problem with breaking down away from home, you don't know who you can trust. Quote Selected
turbo coupe t5 Reply #10 – November 01, 2011, 01:11:17 PM LMAO.. I should have towed it to a parking lot somewhere and just bought a set of tools and gear oil... Quote Selected

WOW! $500 is awful high to pull your trans & install the new one.I had a local trans shop pull my trans, tear it down & fix what was wrong, put it back together, & install it all for only $320 including $50 in parts!!!!!!!I can't think of anything worse than breaking down on the road far from home.Good luck getting back on the road home!

turbo coupe t5 Reply #12 – November 01, 2011, 10:55:17 PM Thanks.. Like I said I'd do it myself for free if I had the tools with me. I hate this , they couldn't even find a transmission for me. Quote Selected
turbo coupe t5 Reply #13 – November 02, 2011, 10:16:40 AM OMG!... they still haven't started on it.. I told them don't touch it. My buddy's picking it up and we're gonna do it at his house. Thank god for being in the military and having friends in almost every state. Quote Selected
turbo coupe t5 Reply #14 – November 02, 2011, 10:33:51 AM That sucks man! You're probably better off not letting them do it if that's how they're treating you. It's good you have friends that can help you out. Quote Selected
