T5 transmission4/6/2023 ![]() It is a lightweight (70 lbs.), 5-speed transmission that has been manufactured for over 30 years for various OEM applications and is found in Fords, Chevies, and various other cars and trucks. See below and in the driveline section for the products needed for both the T5 and T9 transmission swaps.Ī transmission swap that we originated, and still one of the most popular swaps uses the Borg Warner (now Tremec) T5 transmission. The T9, most commonly found in the Ford Sierra ( Merkur and XR4Ti in the US) fills the need for a small, readily available 5 speed that will fit into the transmission tunnels of the earlier Volvos and other small tunnel cars, while at the same time providing a true 5 speed experience with a high power handling capacity. In order to facilitate transmission swaps into the smaller tunnel cars - the pre 1970 1800s, 122s and 544s - we have added Ford T9 transmission conversions. Since then we have been stocking not only the transmissoin to bellhousing adapter plates, but also modified bellhousings, modified clutch forks, release bearings, pilot bearings, flyhweels, and clutches needed to complete these T5 transmission swaps.Īlthough the T5 has been our standard transmission swap, it is not a good fit for cars with smaller transmission tunnels. In 2003 we were contacted by members of Turbobricks who wanted to know if we could modifiy the adapter plates we were using on B20 engines so that the Ford Mustang T5 transmissions could be mated to B23 and B230 engines in 240s and 740s. Then as the horsepower increased in street cars, with both supercharged and turbocharged engines producing more than double their origional power, there was as need to swap in stronger transmissions to replace the broken originals that were not designed to take the increased HP and torque. At first it was into racecars in order to get a stronger transmission with closeratio gear sets. ![]() Flywheels - Aluminum - Lightened Stockįor over 20 years we have been doing transmission swaps into Volvos.
