T-5 swap parts list

August 05, 2013, 09:22:49 AM

OK guys. I have a list of parts and I need to know if anything is missing.

1) WC T-5 with clutch fork

2) T-5 pedal assembly from a Mustang

3) Hurst short throw shifter

4) FMPP King Cobra clutch kit

5) FMPP Adjustable clutch cable kit

6) FMPP pilot bearing

7) FMPP 28oz 10 1/2" 157t flywheel (Engine is a 95 5.8L roller. I am running the stock truck balancer. I think that is a 28oz ballance.)

FMPP dowel kit for clutch pressure plate

9) Manual trans spacer plate (Between engine and T-5)

10) Polly transmission mount.

11) GM syncromesh fluid

Can you think of anything else I will need.

Oh, will I need longer flywheel bolts or will the auto trans flex plate bolts work? Ford says they are the same part number.

Idk if I would run syncro mesh in a t5. They use dex/merc ATF. Gear oil can make them grind gears. Change the input and output seals on the tranny if it is used. They are easy to change and guaranteed to leak if you don't. Other than that I would say, just make sure you get the flywheel, and pressure plate bolts.

I didn't need any harnesses to do mine. I just tied the wires together for the neutral safety switch. If you have a digital speedometer you will have to use the tbird speed sensor with the gear from the mustang speed sensor.

if you need a reverse light, you will at least need that connector.

I got the 5 speed connector. I am just wondering about the interlock switch. Is there not a harness taped up around the steering column area that can be used? Does it not need to see that signal? I was thinking of using that as a theft device and wire in a switch that will open the circuit. No mater if you step on the clutch, it will not start the car unless you pop the hood and jump the solenoid..... or find the switch and flip it.

I have a buttstuffog gauges in my car. This car is basically a turbo coupe with a 5.0L in it, minus the nose, hood, brakes and rear diff. But I swapped that all in.

I have a tonne of mercon 5 at work , or is there a synthetic oil I can use, maybe royal purple or something close?

Thanks for the info guys

Just for kicks and GIGGLES the GM fluid is superior and worth every penny. But if you feel inclined about mixing name plates FORD TYPE F COMES TO MIND!!!!

just use atf. that's what the factory calls for. mercon should also be compatable.

your nss is not hooked up correctly. if I recall correctly it has a green connector. you need to run this line to the clutch switch to get it to function, or bypass it for now by jumping it. I think I cut the connector off and taped the wires up after soldering them.

Modern tranny fluids are to SLIPPERY for the T5. Type F is the ticket!!!

What do you mean its not hooked up correctly? I want it to function properly so I don't start it in gear accidentally or who ever borrows my car.

then you need to wire it up to the clutch. there are two connectors on the clutch itself. one is right above the clutch, the other is on the quadrant above the gas pedal.

on mine, the one above the clutch was broken, so I tried to set it up on the one above the quadrant and it worked the reverse of what I needed.

WOW for more years than i can remember stick cars would start with the clutch released. Now we are so used to modern a NSS is necessary for the NOVICE. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Wire it to the clutch pedal NSS. 2 wires not a brain teaser!!!!!!!!!!!

Pennzoil has a synchromesh that is waaay cheaper than the GM logo bottle from the dealer and most of the guys (myself included) run this in the Tremec TKO's. I run Mobil 1 synthetic transmission oil my T-5's and have for over 15 years with great results.
