After having rebuild/repaired over 1000 T-5s the first thing I would do before any disassembly is shift trans into 1st Gear , slip a yoke into the mainshaft spin the trans backwards from the rear yoke ,this loads the drive side of the gears ,Gear Noise should be about the same in either direction , If its more noise in one direction ,you can count on the input and cluster being worn , than check reverse I've seen alot of T-5s with broken or bent reverse teeth ,meaning that the cluster gear and reverse idler will most likely need replacement ,Most used T-5s are worn out junk today.
Great video! I bought my 92 Mustang used. Previous owner said he had a remanufactured world class T5 installed. What I see is the hex bolt of the non-WC, but the housing below the shifter says TREMEC, which bought Borg Warner in the 1990s, so I wonder if the rebuild shop just used whatever cases were at hand. Also, the gear ratios are of the non-WC (83-84 Fox Mustang). Well I am puzzled, but since the owner drove that tranny for 30,000 miles and burned out a new clutch in that time and the tranny still works fine, I guess it must be strong. Also reverse is not synchronized if that makes any difference on ID.
I am fixin my wc t5 4cyl turbo version. Honestly i would rather have the nwc cause the parts are alot cheaper and my motor is less than 100 h.p. the input bearing retainer for mine is way high everone else can get a steel one for cheap. 1- 2 slider was cheap and reverse idler also. Syncros are expensive for wc. Which ones are the best to buy in your opinion thanks for the build videos.
If your rebuilding it . Isn't the nome world class of anyway ? I totally get it you're going to just install as is but wouldn't a none world class be just as good if you're picking the parts and rebuilding it ?

Any info on putting a sbf or ls engine in a a 05-09 mustang using the stock v6 t5? thanks
World class and Non World Class are both junk , or will become junk if you have over 300hp engines

You said bm not your choice! What would you choose?
Pro 5.0 or a Steeda
@@505speeds I just bought a 94 cobra which has some mods. Haven’t looked at the shifter yet but I’ll check out your suggestions thanks
Where do you get your rebuild kits ?

You've never rebuilt even one T-5 in your life. Why are you trying to make a video?
