I want to thank every for the wonderful heart felt comments. It really means so much to me. Like all videos a common question often comes up. One was "why did you throw out a cover that could be fixed by welding or plugging it?"
If I am working on a job where the component could be easily sourced used or new I am not going to waste my time as well as the customer's money ( which they pay by the hour ) to give them a part that may be compromised by welding. These are very thin die cast covers and tend to warp when welded unless of course one uses proper preheat methods and bolts it to a case during the repair. I have bins of covers as well as new covers in stock because they do get dented and cracked often from people damaging them removing and installing the transmission. In this situation it was not worth the time to repair.
Great video! I bought a T5 conversion for my 1967 MGBGT, to the orginal engine (4 cylinder) from Dave at Fab-Tek. In the process of making another trans tunnel plate (it enters the cabin differently in the car, can't use the orginal) for the shifter wirh my son. I am also re-wiring the entire car and taking advantage of the engine out. Slow an steady progress.
Where's part 2 of the non world class?
out of curiosity would it have been a bad option to use tap to thread that hole and put a bolt in it cut down? that seems like a quick easy option to re-use the part but I have no damn idea what I'm talking about I'm literally just curious
See above responses
Sorry for your losses Paul. Good to see you back, love your videos man!
Paul, all things not withstanding, its good to see you back. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Perfect timing! Sorry for all of your losses- I’m sitting in a hospital room awaiting my s/o’s liver transplant, with a non-W/C t-5 torn down at home on the bench (with a .63 overdrive gear!). Putting my waiting time to good use! Thank you for that….
Condolences on your losses Paul! Thanks for the video!
My condolences Paul . I good to see you back .

Sorry for your loss Paul. The rebuild kit I got from you went in without a hitch. The rebuild was a success. The camaro is almost done, I have some engine compartment wiring to do and I will make a video. Thank you for these informative videos.
Welcome back Paul! Long time. Condolences!
Paul, you are such a kind kind person. I'm so very sorry for the tumultious events that you've recently been through. Take good care of yourself.
Thank you
Sorry to hear what's going on. Love your videos. Glad you are back.
Great to see you back, you had some heavy times for sure. As others have said, you do a great job explaining and also filming.
Mr Paul, my condolences, those are hard times. Thanks for posting another video. Wow, that main shaft was really worn . Thanks again for doing the new Hurst shifter for my A-833, shifts like a hot knife thru butter.
Very sorry to hear about your family. Prayers are with you and Family.
Paul, I’m so sorry to hear about your losses this year. I appreciate all the videos!
Glad that you're back mate, my condolences for the losses in your families.
Great to see you back Paul! so sorry for your loss.
My condolences. I lost my sister to cancer 2 years ago, and my mother 1 year later. Enjoy your time on earth, I do! I bought 3 (clone) 409 2x4 4 speeds
Thanks for the great video Paul, great to see you back. So sorry for your family's losses.

So sorry for your loss. Thankful for you and your expertise in all your videos. God bless.
SO GTSY PAUL,SO SORRY FOR WHAT YOU BEEN THOUGH,YOU HAVE BEEN MISSED..
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU SHOW THE WORLD BRO..STAY WELL
Nice to see you Paul! Thanks for the content. Sorry for the losses.
Condolences Paul and nice to see you're back. I don't know what upgrades are available for a T5 but on T5 WC I have it has carbon fiber rings and some billet aluminum upgrades. It sits behind a SBC 355 vortec roller in an 86 Grand Prix. A must be upgrade is to get rid of the stock shifter. I have a Hurst with stops that prevents overshifting unlike the sloppy stock shifter.
So sorry to hear of all the loss in your Family , at my age I have be going through similar problems . Glad you are back !
Glad to have you back man.👍
Good to see you got your trans in gear again. I like watching experts work.
Sorry for your loss you are very helpful thank you for all you do .
Sorry to hear of you sad losses and I hope that you can find the strength to keep up with the Videos.
Glad to see you back Paul.Sorry for your losses.Love the Vids.
I love these videos. I’m looking forward to part 2! I hope it comes out soon!
Hi Paul, so sorry to hear about your mom and sister. Prayers sent.
Can you do a video on how you clean the cases and prep the internal parts for rebuild? Would really like to see how that case comes out.
That will be coming in future parts of this video. Make sure you take the time to watch towards the end where I give a quick overview of what I see.
Thanks Paul - I've watched this video a bunch of times now. I'm really hoping that you are able to put together 'part 2' showing the repaired parts, replacement parts and assembly... True gold!
Working on it!
This is great. Moving on to part 2 in a minute. I have a T5 from a 3.4 Camaro that is going into my MGB behind a Fiero 2.8. The MG forums all say that the V6 1st gear is too short with our 3.90 rear end, so I plan to rebuild the box and install a V8 first gear. This series will definitely be my guide for the process.
Condolences to all, mate - and welcome back. Take your time. We'll still be here when you have something for us. Cheers. 👍
Sorry to hear about your losses mate! My condolences to you and your family. 😔🙏 Good to see you back! 👍
Good to see you back!
My condolences Paul, you are THE transmission man.
I will get that book!! Happy to see a new video, you've spoiled us!
Good to see you again, sorry for your losses. This video is just what I needed. I have a nwc from an 89 s10 that will be going behind a flathead for a 48 F1. It was an ebay purchase so my plan has been to rebuild it since I know nothing of it's condition. I'm eager to learn something new.
Love your videos, thanks for sharing 🇺🇸
I bought a torn apart tko600 that had been rebuilt just before it exploded. I watched you videos and it turned out great. The last guy did follow your needle bearings shim needle bearings. Thanks for all the videos. Sorry about your family. I will buy you a coffee.
Thank God for these videos. I'm in the process of swapping out a damaged world class with a non world class in a 4x4. Thanks so much for making them sir 💪💪.
My condolences to you and your family, glad to see you back
Good to see you again brother. Truly sorry for your losses. God Bless.
Sorry for your loss; nice video and look forward to next video.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayers for your relatives and you. 🙏
hey man! just randomly stumbled upon one of your videos from 8-10 years ago as I'm learning to rebuild a Nissan cd008 and convert it to a cd009, was suprised to see a long gap in upload, but happier to see you just uploaded for the first time in a long time! thanks for making kick ass knowledgeable content! terribly sorry for the loss's. thanks for everthing. +1 new subscriber!
Thanks. I will have uploads happening more often
Thanks again for another great video. Sorry to hear about your loses.
Another great trans video. Sometimes I watch them just as entertainment, not because I want to build the particular trans. THX!
My Condolences 💐 Glad you’re back!
Great video, as usual. Sorry about your family losses.
This is a great video! I've got a lot of experience with mustang world class t5, but had not had the opportunity to work on a non-world-class Camaro T5. I have one in an LS swapped 81 Ford Fairmont. He uses a combination of GM main case, 26 spline input shaft, 27 spline output shaft mustang tail shaft extension and shifter plate assembly. Works very well. And has lasted up until a few days ago when I broke the input shaft shifting aggressively in the third gear.
Sorry for your loss . Prayers to you and your family.
So glad you're keepin the stick shift alive, Paul. A new subscriber, but have had your 1st book for years, and have just learned about your videos. Have sent an Email to your Co., for parts, tranny and advice. Another thank you for all you do. Also sorry to hear about your losses, and hoping for your speedy mental recovery.
Thanks. I feel great
@@GearBoxVideo Good to hear. :)
Wow dude sorry to hear about all your loses. Prayers go out to you and your family
Sorry for the lose of your sister and thank you for making this NWC T5 teardown video. Also thank you for your quick reply to my email. Looking forward to the rebuild of the NWC T5.
popped my popcorn, set for full view picture and really enjoyed this fantasic turorial class today ! excellent !
Thanks so much 😊
I too lost family to Covid. My heart goes out to you. I enjoy the video!
I watched this video once before out of curiosity, but now having a customer with a T5 am watching it again just to refresh the basic process. Can very much see the influence the T5 had on the development of the NV4500.
Man so sorry about the family. Family is more important than making videos. but thank you for making these videos, this helped me such much.
My heart felt to you and yours Paul good man 😊
My sympathy for you and your spouse. Sounds like you've both had a challenging time. God bless and welcome back.
Family first. Always.
I'm sorry for your losses.
Sad to hear about your losses and agreed - family comes first
Thank you ... I enjoyed, good video..
Hello first off sorry about yours and staff member loss, I enjoy your content and just ordered book one, thank you
Welcome aboard!
Welcome back, Paul. Although the last few months were clearly not pleasant, you appear to be in good spirits.
Many years ago, you taught me that the shiny synchronizer surface on the gear should be scuffed so that the new brass synchronizer ring will grab it better.
Since the mainshaft is bad, and 2nd and 3rd gear are not perfect, you could mention there is an option to use a WC mainshaft and WC mainshaft gears, but retain the NWC cluster gear. However, I know the purpose of this video is to remain NWC-specific.
We definitely missed you buddy! Sorry to hear about the loss of y’all’s loved ones! May they fly high in Heaven 🕊
Perfect! Mine is the exact same, same sticker/number and everything. 🤣 thanks for the great info!!
You definitely know your business!!
Hello Paul sorry for you and Rhonda's loss your sister to? I lost my mom in 19, I have no words sir. As you already know
I watch all your videos I am a manual gear box man Thank You for another wonderful video Paul.
I have a 1983 Datsun NWC and am THRILLED this video! I am happy you chose to do this one! Thanks!!!
I forgot to mention that. Pretty much the same except for the gear set
@@GearBoxVideo I’m keeping my fingers crossed when I pull my apart things look good. I did manage to score a new old stock front bearing retainer as well as a new old stock rear oil seal! I need to buy you a coffee and keep you motivated to get part two up! Hey I don’t know if you follow abom79 on RUclips but he’s in Florida and he also does flame welding of shafts.
I worked as an engineer for plasma and flame spray equipment. Not a good choice for repair on shafts that are subjected to the high PSI needles produce. Best is hard welding. Sleeving and spray welding are OK but in no way bring back the original strength of the shaft. I will explain this when the shaft is repaired in the next video
Family does come first !!!! My prayers are with you 🙏👍❤️
I appreciate that
Thank you for producing that beautiful video. You should have warned people to stay away from eBay parts, we all know they're shiny junk
glad you are back ... omg this brings back memories .. I used to grande these transmissions back in the day with my 85 fox body mustang when we would street race in south fl ... and back then they were cheap and easy to buy used and would regularly just swap them out when third gear would take a dump from racing around town .... lol it got to the point I would have 5 or 6 of them just laying around to swap in and got so god at replacing them I would keep a spare one in the trunk of the car and could have it swapped out of my mustang in about 20min where ever it blew up to get me home lol lol... very weak transmission .... and should be tossed out and send to the bottom of the ocean... lol ....
Very true. Not meant to be hammered
A similar gearbox to this one was used in the V6 Holden Commodore. GMH closed its doors in Australia a few years ago. The ones repaired didn't have the thrust bearing on 5th gear. A reasonably easy gearbox to work with.
The Holden used the World Class box. I have videos on that one already on my channel
Paul, sorry for all your loss. Bobby Mayfair
Condolences 🙏sorry for your loss.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support. Much appreciated.
Hey man. I’m so glad your back. My grandmother passed in may. She broke her hip, then arm. It’s been real hard. I am new to t-5’s I need help. I am in north fort myers.
I am going to check your website out too I need help!
Very sorry for your loss, Paul. Thanks as always for the great content. Who does your repair work on the main shaft? I have a shaft that may need a similar repair to the snout.
Great Videos! verry helpful ! i am re assembling a 84 t5 nwc. after assembly of the the reverse gear and shift fork, It feels like it hangs up. I have to help the gear along as i pull on the shifter arm. It is lubricated with atf. I am thinking it should slide more freely. I did test fit for this issue before re assembly and all was sliding nicely. Do you have anything i should be looking for or at ?
Stumbled on this video after reading your book. The video simplifies so much...thanks! I went to your website to buy a rebuild kit for my NWC Ford unit, but couldn't find it. Any new updates on ETA for being back in stock? I'd like to buy from you. That being said, do you have an opinion on the Hanlon rebuild kit, if yours is long-term unavailable? Thanks again!
Прикольно. Давно смотрю видео этого чувака. Хорошо объясняет, очень интересно!
благодарю вас!
@@GearBoxVideo да без проблем, дружище! Не падай духом, и продолжай заниматься любимым делом, это здорово помогает отвлечься от плохих мыслей.
Thank you Paul for the great videos. My front thrust washer on the counter shaft is much better than the one shown in the video, only a couple small spots of brass showing. Area smaller than a pencil eraser diameter. Should I just reuse it or the new one. Didn't seem like you cared for the new steel ones. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Just reuse it you are better off
Great video Paul. I'm very grateful for all the knowledge and instruction you provide. I watched your WC T5 videos so many times that when it came time to finally build mine, I knew what I was doing. I am curious as to the power handling differences between the WC and NWC. I've been trying to find the WC Camaro T5 that was behind the V8 engines. They're hard to find except for the nwc versions.
I extend my sympathys to your hardships you've endured through. Hang in there.
I hear ya, Boosted. I'm in the same boat. Mistakenly bought a NWC years ago, from a V6 firebird, and am putting it behind a small Pontiac V8 turboed. Maybe make 350 ft/lbs. Would like-ta throw a few shifts once in a blue moon for fun, but guess it's not recommended.
T5 WC and Non WC were designed for their intended use and very little more. On the V8 units just remember what the Horsepower and torque ratings of the engines of the cars these transmissions were in. That is what they are rated for.
Sorry for you losses. Covid has made its way thru my family in the last month or so. Fortunately everyone has made it thru without too much trouble. I love these videos and appreciate the one you did on Tremec 3550’s. It really helped me on my TKO 600 basket case. Been going strong for years now. You’re website says the countershaft support plates are out of stock for the later t-5’s, just wondering if that accurate?
Yes the plates are available but I have no shims. So it makes it hard to sell them
Paul, any idea on when you'll have T5 WC rebuild kits back in stock? I've learned so much from your book and videos over the year, keep up the good work!
No idea
You could still use that cover by welding over the hole, or even simply putting a rubber plug or gromet into the hole to seal it up.
I have tons of covers and used covers are easy to find. I keep new covers in stock. Also the new covers are a better design. These covers can be easily welded but as a rule when it comes to the quality of work we put out here it doesn't pass.
Welcome back! Informative teardown, bummer on the shaft & cover. That hole looked like it had a rubber plug of sorts. I wonder if the unit was leaking, and somebody was able to shoot some oil through there every once in a while (from the top or through the floor).
Random: I see a large can of linseed oil in the background (e.g. 33:30). Does that have automotive application, or is it from a different project? I can honestly say I've never used the stuff outside of paint and wood conditioning.
I hope making videos helps get you guys back in the groove.
Thanks. Good deduction. Some people also drill holes to stop cracks.
Hey Paul - Curious if you've seen this before. Reassembling my WC main shaft. When I put the spiral snap ring on, 1 and 2 won't move. The synchro stack (inner/outer cone and blocking ring) seem to be several thousands taller than what I pulled off the shaft. This style of synchro that came in the kit has a fiber strip all the way around (after market). Hadn't seen this type before. Is there a fix or am I buying new synchros?
You need to contact the people that sold you the kit since its possible the aftermarket rings are bent or do not fit correctly... Compare old to new before Assembly... Try old on again see what happens
So sorry for your loss.
I put new syncros in a ZF 6spd out of a 2002 F350 7.3L diesel, and I had to push 2 gears and a bearing off all at once--- and it was sketchy to say the least. My press has a 32 ton bottle jack and I was seemingly pushing that jack to it's limits before it finally popped like a shotgun round going off--- and it all came off just fine after it busted loose. Kinda scary while it was in the press though.
ZF units have tight press fits cause they also heat shrink the parts
Great video!! I have a cracked case around the drain plug....Can it be welded or do I get a new case?
Should be an easy weld repair
What thrust end play should i aim for ?
On both the countershaft and main shaft.
Thanks
You cannot adjust endplay on the countergear. Input is set to zero to .002
