Join Michael Satterfield as he installs a California Pony Cars T5 Transmission Adapter Plate on a classic Mustang Bell Housing. This kit installs California Pony Cars TRA-650-526 on an original 1966 Mustang 6 bolt bell housing.

This adapter plate allows you to the bell housing and the transmission enabling you to use your original bell housing. Other parts you may need is CPC Crossmember, CPC's trans mount insulator, CPC' s shift lever, CPC's Slip yoke, and a CPC Shift knob.

@Taunuslunatic, All T-5's do not have the same transmission to bellhousing bolt pattern due to different manufacturers such as Tremec and Borg-Warner.
We do manufacture adapter plates to make it work with your car.

Yes the stock speedo cable can work with the T5 transmission

@9metatron, We only do Conversion Kits for Early Model Mustang.

More than likely we have an adapter plate that will work for your car. Check out our website and it will direct you to the right adapter plate for your application.

Can I use the original driveshaft with this adapter kit? I have the yoke, trans support, and adapter plate.

[@MonroeHandyMan]

I have a 1970 Mustang Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland. Do you have a kit that would make a t5 work for my car? It’s currently a automatic.

[@2002films]

Does it matter if the 67 mustang has a 3 speed or 4 speed bell housing ?

[@TheGentlemanRacer]

Hey I know that guy!

[@saw426]

Whats the purpose for this adapter plate?

[@jimclosson515]

Which transmission model years with this adapter fit on? I understand, some years had different shaft lengths than others.

[@CaliforniaPonyCars]

This adapter plate works on 83-93 T5 transmissions. After 93, they have longer input shafts.

[@InvincibleExtremes]

Cal Pony yup, good info there guys, loved the video. me and my brother used a 3.8 T5 from a 2001 mustang. now we just need one of those adapter plates from you. all we had to do was buy another input shaft for that was the length of the 83-93 input shaft and replace it. low mileage 3.8 T5 trans are much cheaper and have a lot less wear and mileage on them than the 5.0 t5's that people have been beating on in their 5.0 fox body hot rods... ;-) same trans though. oh, and if you're using a 351w then the 3.8 bellhousing and input shafft works just fine ;-) just use a 351w starter.

[@Taunuslunatic]

Do all T-5's have the same trans to bellhousing bolt pattern?
