Author Topic: What do I need to go from T-5 to Tremec gercolla1 ¯ Member # 3068 posted                                 I know that #1 will be $$$.But I was wondering about things like clutch,driveshaft,etc.How about fit? -------------------- Sf Bay Area Posts: 2171 | From: Sampan San Francisco | Registered: Jul 2003  |  : AJBlackGT ¯ Member # 3936 posted                              Which tremec are you talking about? 3550 uses the same 10 spline clutch as a t5, but a tko uses a 36 spline clutch and a different driveshaft. Either way you will need a new bellhousing or scattershield, you'll need to cut and set the crossmember back or buy a new one. Those are the main things -------------------- 90 Notch Posts: 1896 | From: Sacramento | Registered: Dec 2003  |  : Rob [5LVENOM] ¯ Member # 2282 posted                              You mean 26 spline. No, my TKO 500 I ordered with a 10 spline input, its an offered option for ford clutches, reused the Centerforce DF I had (low mileage), I have been using my stock clutch fork with no problems, and I did buy the DS spacer, because it a SN95 car, and the T-5 is 5/8 inch longer (input shaft)in them. As far as modifying the crossmember, I slotted the holes to the tranny mount, worked fine. You will need a bellhousing for sure, I reused my Mcleod scattercan. Good luck, its not that big a deal. Oops, forgot to mention the 31 spline yoke, it came with my trans, I just put it on my FMS Alum. DS and was good to go, you won't need a new DS.

If you get the 3550 it will be the same as a T5. you'll need a different shifter (The stock one sucks) I think thats about it. It's an easy job... -------------------- 02 GT - Zinc Yellow 91 5.0 LX - Red Posts: 1316 | From: Fairfield | Registered: Jul 2002  |  :
