How To Speed Shift A FOXBODY T5 Without Breaking It!

- No-Lift shifting is the fastest shift you can perform hands down! But if done incorrectly it can be catastrophic for your transmission. I stopped power shifting my cars years ago and starting " quick shifting " instead. It's a lot easier on your transmission and there is less of a chance to miss a gear.

Man, I miss driving home after a cruise like this . My stang ALWAYS had me smiling ear to ear . Excellent shifting my friend .
Love the quality of this foxbody content brew2l never disappoints
Donât like the gold wheels on carbon Fox. Donât like the gold wheels on any Fox lol. Itâs not the gold, just the style of wheel Iâve never liked. Thanks for the shifting vid.
Great info as always. But on an unrelated note, the Carbon Fox is my favorite of your cars. That color combo, and now the wheels... it just all works for me
Man I love them ponies on the retro fox. I love all your cars but that one steals my heart lol. Great video brother!
Best videos brother keep it up. You're definitely the go-to guy w đŠđȘđŒđČ
Great video bud, I really love what you have done to the Carbon Fox, but my favorite is the the Retro Fox
she sounds so damn good, looking awesome as well, the blower really has pushed her to the front of
your great car collection.
Iâm a power shifter from way back. When my 88 GT was new I had it back at the dealer 3 times to replace synchros. I came here doubtful that your method was gonna seem legit. But the first time you shifted from 2nd to 3rd I said âCleeeean!â Good job. Good video
The Wraith! YES! Love the movie, love your cars- great video!
I've been babyish on my T5 so far, but when I get that TKX it's going down, Love the Carbon Fox these wheels look good, but truly would like to see more combos of your wheel collection for my favorite
Good tips for sure. And t5s definitely are all different. My 4cyl t5 broke input shaft on motor. My current 89 gt t5 messed up syncro or something at the track on a powershift few weeks ago. Canât get it in 2nd anymore. But it was a 200 dollar trans that Iâve been beating on for over a year. 300+ drag races
Yes, the wraith; is a classic only 80's babies can appreciate. Those rims are fire on the 5.0 đđȘ
Definitely loving the retro with the pony wheels, just awesome đ
First time I tried to power shift my old t5 was about 5 years ago and I absolutely ruined it on stock power in my 86 GT. Jammed the shifter between 1st and second got it home and took the trans apart turns out I split the 1-2 gear synchro hub lmao you can shift a t5 pretty fast. I have rode in fox bodies with experienced drivers and they will surprise you how fast you can shift. Itâs about taking that load off the internals for the split second during the shift. If you can practice and get that down a t5 is an awesome transmission man
You da man! The only complaint I have with my â21 is that it doesnât have a direct-mount shifter. Thereâs nothing like banging gears with a shifter that has stops on it where you can just slam it into the next gear
Retro soundin' gooooooooooooood!!! Really hit me in the feels lol.
I keep thinking about doing a turbo but I love the way the Retro sounds with that blower!
I think I like the supercharger as much as the turbo đ€«
I agree but Jesus 6-9k for a kit is ridiculous.
Anderson ford sells an entry kit for $4200, cheapest I have found.
Retro is my Fav! but digging the Wraith look. "Win the race, win the car"! lol
carbon fox looks awesome with the mesh wheels!
Good Video Man!!
The carbon fox looks good on those wheels!!
Brother the Retro Fox is on point!! FAST, MEAN and SUPER CLEAN. The Carbon Fox looks awesome with the gold mesh rims. I really dig the old school look and It does have that Retro Wrath Persona! đŻ
The quick shift instructions were great and will definitely save someones T5. đŻđđŸ
Thanks bro! Itâs honestly my favorite look on the car so far. But we still have a couple of other sets to try as well. đ
Good stuff. Thanks Bmoney!
The wheels on carbon fox kinda have a Lincoln mark vii lsc look.
Good video on shifting.
Definitely can break a T5 if you mess up power shifts, especially with sticky tires.
Iâve shifted like this for 22yrs on the track with t5âs and only destroying one trans. Nice job in the vid, I highly recommend this type of shifting on the T5.
Yup. I've been doing it this way for YEARS.
Those wheels on the Carbon Fox reminds me of the Back2theFuture movie! I'm digging those wheels & the saleens on their.
I quick shift the same way. I don't feel the need to push the trans any harder. I have a tr3650. Taking a beaten for 30k miles by me.
I really like those wheels on any fox to be honest. I have a set of the black ones for my 86. I might have to get the gold ones one day because theyâre beautiful
Interior of the Retro looks great đđ»
My favorite is the retro I need some of those pony wheels ! But they are all great looking cars !
Sweet rides man hell yeah!!
This also depends on what shifter you have. You are going to miss a lot of shifts if you do this with a stock shifter or, you are going to over extend the shifter because you put too much muscle into the shift. A good shifter makes a ton of difference.
That's where the pro 5.0 tower shifter comes to play.
@@mrbighands That was the weapon of my choice. I broke a Hurst aluminum on the 1-2 when that thing was popular. Put the Pro 5.0 power tower in and never broke another shifter again. Adjust the stops and slam away. I powershifted every race. Didn't break a thing.
It took me a while, but eventually I learned to power shift my 1993 Taurus SHO which makes a big difference when you are racing Mustangs. Billy Glidden powershifted an SHO to 14.7. Most people with Mustangs could afford them, but not drive them properly, so I had a lot of fun with them in the SHO.
Paint the rims grey... then they will match the feel of the car. Love it...
Absolutely love the rims in the carbon fox đŠ
The carbon fox looks good with any wheels on it. 50 Tussin Jr going through those gears đđ»
The retro looks great with the ponies!
I remember shifting without letting off the gas pedal back in the day in my bolt-on 93 notch. Slamming gears and driving the crap out of these cars as teenagers and twenty- somethings was the fun in owning them.
My TKO is hard to shift, or maybe itâs just me, and not being used to driving it. Iâve always ran the old Top Loader 4spds. The T5 that was in my 85 Turbo Coupe Tbird was smooth as silk. I believe the Gold wheels are my 2nd favorite on the Carbon Fox. The Saleen wheels are my favorite so far.
Good advice, Iâve always shifted mine like that and after 22 years Iâm on my second transmission in my car. Also interested in what head unit that is, Iâm looking for an upgrade.
My clutch is so stiff don't think I can pull that one off đđđđȘđșđžđŻ
Oh yeah. I lovelovelove my T5. Never miss a gear. Overall I have been incredibly fortunate. I drove my Coupe like an accord commuter. Many miles a day as I can get on it
Nothing shifts better than a fresh t5 imo
U were banging those gears lol
Them bbs wheels fye
Yes sir... shifting it with a purpose!
Thanxxx for the technique in this shift lesson, Carbon Fox looks good any wheels but so far for the SVE Drag Setup jus wow, what percent tint on Carbon Fox ??
Thanks Brew2L. Where did you get those front seats?đ
The weakest link in the drivetrain. Well said, this should save lots of T5âs from torn up input shafts and rebuilds for a while.
Again I Love the mesh wheels on em !!
I liked the other wheels on carbon fox better but put some gunmetal mesh wheels on it w a little chrome lip and some black lug nuts and it would be mint af đđŒ
That was my movie. It never gets old
Classic!
I never talk to people who know about The WraithđđŒđđđ such a classic
First time I tried to flat foot shift my old t5 was about 5 years ago and I absolutely ruined it on stock power in my 86 GT. Jammed the shifter between 1st and second got it home and took the trans apart turns out I split the 1-2 gear synchro hub lmao you can shift a t5 pretty fast. I have rode in fox bodies with experienced drivers and they will surprise you how fast you can shift a t5. Itâs about taking the load off the internals for that split second you throw it into next gear. If you can practice the timing and get that down a t5 is an awesome transmission that can last a while even with good power
Agreed you can shift a t5 very fast if you time it right even at moderate power levels. But nothing lasts forever either. đ€Ł
could have used this last night when i was power shifting my poor t-5
I love those wheels bro
The Power of having a Manual car đ€đ»
I actually learned how to drive a manual car by quick shifting đ then I finally figured the release point on my clutch
I love the t5 in Beans with the hydraulic clutch conversion I put on it although I would have preferred the cable and the quadrant but headers decided to get in the way đ€Šđ»ââïž but I still enjoy banging gears in Beans, I do have the upgrades that helps them live with a little more power thrown at them, I figured that Beans would be a good candidate for the upgrades with the extra 10hp i have over stock đ
Wrap the headers Iâve got two inch primaryâs, trickflow from sw, my cable lays on headers by fork & never melted yet
@@rodneygodin7773 my headers are wrapped but that's not really the problem, the primaries run directly in front of the mounting hole and the steel collar sticks straight out so its not even remotely close to going in unless I bend the steel collar at a 90° angle which would bind up the cable, it's on a 79 pinto and that is about the only longtube headers made for it and I think that they were really made for a automatic , I know a few others who had to do the same thing that I did. I just wish I could use the cable setup because it is much easier and less prone to go bad
Quick shifting a T5 seems easier than quick shifting my TKX. The TKX is extremely ânotchyâ feeling. Same Hurst Shifter on both.
can you explain in detail how you move your foot/leg when you let off the throttle while pushing the clutch in? i seem to always be super slow when getting back into the throttle
In this video I got to hear what you have in the retro Fox I'm going to say 480 on the horsepower range I said seven something last time see how close I am.
Wash papa Tâs car lol great vid man!
Love that classic movie
I lost it when you explained your seating position. I wasn't expecting that at all.
Have you ever seen 50tussin shift? What category of shift is he doing?
Always love your content.
Lmao. Thanks brother. He is power shifting. No lift shifting to the max! Lol
One of my good buddies blew up his clutch 2 times going from 2nd to 3rd to fast. Thank God he had a scatter shield, or the clutch would have come threw the floor board. It left some nasty marks inside the bell housing at the top. Could have been very bad.
That would have been very bad. Those scatter shields work
Watching this made me realize my hurst shifter is too damn long and needs to go. I need a shorter throw.
What is the red light that sometimes coming on between the tach and the speedometer? I have had some aero mustangs but been in a four eye for about 20 years, so I can't remember what that light is. Alternator light? Thanks for the videos.
been having problems now with shifting from 2nd to 3rd when hitting the gas , it dosent want to go in most times, but its fine when just cruising along!đ€·ââđ€·ââđ€·ââ
Cable adjustment?
Windows look good! What percentage is that?? Thanks
Ever 'float' the gears during relaxed easy driving? I do it all the time in my Civic but internet trolls are telling me it's going to tear up the synchros. I drove a big rig briefly I guess I missed it.
This is funny. This is the way I was taught to shift a "performance" transmission. Back in the 80's, guys were breaking T5's left and right. I never broke one. I've never had the "guts" to no lift shift one. Lol.
Skank!! Who was that guy!?
I donât know, but whoever he was heâs weird and pissed off! Love the turbo interceptor.
hello friend, which model of clutch kit do you recommend for a 302 turbo 7 lbs of boost for a t5 transmission.
wheels look awesome
Thanks đ I love that combo. Itâs very retro imo
Not a fan of the gold on the carbon. But hey you do you. I love all your cars and papa t's too.
Best looking combo to me đ
That 2-3 power shift will get you
What size drag radials are you running I have a set of 275/50/15 they rub
Excuse me, I wanted to know if there is a way to get more rpm for a t5 of my foxbody
What kind of wheels are they on the gray car
What is the hatch spoiler on the red mustang?
Man that's a clean car
Thank you đ
What shifter do you prefer? Whoever can chime in. Anybody ever try the 40-50 dollar eBay shifter?
what shifter are you running?
What you running for exhaust?
just watch 3rd gear itst alwasy 3rd thats touchy i found mine (stock) likes to be hot before shift if cold 3rd is touchy !!!3rd gear crunch pop at 4:20 lol
Is that a different radio
Great video! Honestly it just comes with practice and building a little confidence in yourself. Nothing wrong with your shifting whatsoever, plus it may save you a tranny. If that shifting ainât winning, neither would a power shift(no lift). So why risk it? Keep it up brother
Exactly! I stopped power shifting years ago in most cases. Plus itâs a lot easier to miss a shift no lift shifting.
@@BREW2LFOXBODY man those missed gears when power shifting always made me cringe đŹ. They sound so horrible. Guess I needed to suck less at shifting đ€Ł
@@jordanhill8199 itâs gonna bite you from time to time. Lol
Put a G Force gear set in it
I put a Tremec Replacement T5 in my mustang and the shifting is not smooth. My old T5 could shift faster no problem. But the Tremec trans harder to get it out of gear. Hard to explain
No offense whatsoever but I thought the gold mesh wheels look best on the retro fox
So if I wanted to swap out the t-5 Transmission in my 95 5.0 for something that shifts faster and smoother. What would I get? Still want a 5 speed manual.
Tkx or a sequential forsure
When I was in My 20's in the 90's, I broke several T5's. They do shift nicely, especially with a Hurst shifter.
I like Your Red GT. It kind of reminds Me of My 1990 Supercharged Mustang GT. Quick shifts Your way are enough for a T5.
At 51, I'm pretty sure I could make one last as The stock clutch/transmission and rear are original pieces and are alive and well in My 2004 ECS boosted Z06.
I know I broke a few in my time.. lol thatâs why I pretty much stick to a quick shift nowadays
Idk man. I knocked off half a second in the 1/4 mile powershifting my t5 in every gear except 3rd. Because 3rd always breaks. Lol
The Wraith is a classic.
Exactly đŻđ„
@@BREW2LFOXBODY Just like the classic Born To Run.
Bro!! That movie The Wraith is so corny. I actually watched it for the first time maybe 6 months ago. Funny you mention it though. Good old cheesy 80s movie!!
It was super cringe but I love it đ đ
Thatâs why I build my own boxes. I know whatâs inside it.
Nice shifting there partner lol I really want to go 5 speed behind my 2.3, that'll be perfect for someone to learn on, 88 hp probably won't kill a trans
I think youâd be good for a while bro đ
Yes hope to have a real fox someday lol
Hey one asap man prices are fking insane
@@romero.4089 I literally bought 2 foxes 7 months back for a fair price! But prices in just a few months are crazy
@@danielsanchez-rubio8500 yea I think iam about sell mine in midst of living and shit Iâll get a better one đ«
What shifter is that? Stock? I always worry about slamming a stock shifter without the stops on it.. You know what I mean?
You don't necessarily have to slam it to shift fast.
Are those 17 inch ponys?
đ„đ
Those ponies on retrođ€
Mam I had the ARE VERSION ON A 79 CAMARO. MED QUASAR MET BLUE. I thought I was the hardest s*** since s*** was hot
You were đđŻâ
I know Das riiiiiite. Lol
Need a foxbody in my life lol, thinking about a 94/95 tho as they are way more budget friendly than foxbodies currently. Whats your thoughts on the sn95 5.0 cars?
They are built way better and all the cobra goodies bolt right on. I prefer fox body looks but after driving both. That's my opinion
Foxbodys are the way to go sn and newer mustangs are ugly imo
@@SuperThugnifacent I love a cleaned up SN. Majority of people hate em but they got potential if ya ask me
@@joetheman357 everyone diff they just look horrid I'd rather use them as parts or pull there 4.6
@@SuperThugnifacent lol. I do prefer the look of the fox. But lowered down with some nice wheels the sn cars look decent. New edges look incredible imo. Your comment made me laugh tho đ
Im ready for somebody to modify the seat belts..
