Hey I'm thinking of buying this tranny, its a '83 Borg Warner T5 with the lower 1st and 2nd gear it was mated to a Dana 300 transfer case in a Jeep CJ7 (the tranny was cheep because it came from a guy who wanted to keep his jeep but was too old to keep driving stick). Does anyone know if I can swap this into my '66 F100, it has a 300 c.i. six in there now with the original 4 speed floor shift manual. Is this T5 the same T5 that was in mustangs? If this is the wrong transmission does anyone have another idea for a 5 speed swap? I use this truck as daily driver and put a fair number of highway miles on it and would really like overdrive.
Thanks

 

My understanding is that the shifter goes back into the seat area. 5-spds: M5OD or ZF both have hydrolic clutch. You may want to look at a Borg-warner T-18 or 19 4-spd. The B-W is much easier to install and works with a manual clutch.
