10:21 that face that says "get me a beer"
Pretty much
I'm so giddy with excitement to do this to my 66
Yes it will clear most boosters, we have done the conversion recently on a 66 fastback and it cleared with no issues.
I bet you love your job. I can't imagine doing this job with floor jacks, though...
currently doing this on my daily driver with floor jacks😑 can confirm it is hell
@@Kylie.Rose. I will be putting in my 4 speed top loader tomorrow. I used floor jacks on top of cylinder blocks. Car was very stable and gave the extra 9 inches that makes all the diffrence
I am in the middle of this on a 1970 Mach 1 for a customer. Car sat after it was botched up over 20 years ago. These parts fit nice and I am hoping to get it out for a test sometime next week. The cable installation is a pain in the neck under the dash of that car, but it will be well worth the modification. Nice video man.
You were supposed to tell the viewers to disconnect the positive battery terminal BEFORE removing the starter motor!
That was a great video. CJ Pony vids are a great resource for us DIYers.
15:56 spider was just tryin to help 😂
hahahahahaha
Bill, another AWSOME how to vid!! thanks for sharing!
I love it when a plan works!
Thinking of buying a 1966 mustang without a manual transmission great video I feel more comfortable about the process
Great video!👍🏽 really shows everything step by step
Depends on which style clutch engagement setup you are going with. Most hydraulic and cable systems will work a power brake conversion. We have recently used the BBCK1 with a cable conversion in a 66 and it worked well
Nice work! No fancy tools, dirty hands with no doctor's gloves like it should be.
This was great, please do more!!!
The look you gave the camera man when taking the bell housing off was priceless I would have probly said a few choice words!
When I did my 65, I had to put a 3:55 gear in the rear end and have the drive shaft shortend. And of course the clutch cable wouldn't go past the try-y headers so I had to replace the headers also. I did it back in 2001 when there weren't many kits available or any youtube videos to help.
Nicely done Bill. Helped guide me on my installation.
Glad we could help!
love this video but I wonder if I could use the information from this to swap the transmission in my 70 Chevelle. In other words, are they similar enough to use this video as a basis for the swap? Any mechs have any advice?
great, clean job
I have a 66 with a C4. Definitely want a T5 upgrade!
Love this video. Love that you used hand tools for the most part. I don’t recall seeing you use a sing pneumatic tool!!! Word of advice next time don’t have background music, atleast while you’re talking.
Yes you want to use the roller bearing with the T-5 input shaft
I have never done a 71-73 but there should be a 4 wire neutral safety switch depending on what original transmission you were using. 2 of the wires are neutral safety, they would need to looped together. The other 2 should be for your backup lights.
Thanks for the info
Haters gonna Hate. Hey Bro Love your choice in background music for the vids! Makes it real enjoyable to watch!!!
Bill how do you hook up the backup lights in a 71-73 mustang after you install the T-5?
I so want this conversion in my 65.
Nice video. Approximately how many hours of labor do you think it would take to take out the old transmission, and install the 5 speed? Im debating on doing it myself or taking my stang to a shop.. CJ Pony Parts
so i need the new bearing and flywheel for this swap?
i love ur video .im trying to put a t5 on my 79 vette auto
Will those Flowtech long tubes fit in a 66' Mustang w/ T5 conversion? Thanks.
What rear end gears did you have in the 67 to work with the t-5 5th gear over drive?
We use a conversion driveshaft which is already shortened but year 10 years ago getting it shortened was about the only way to do it.
I have a 66 coupe, where can I get the roller bearing with the T-5 input shaft, and the conversion driveshaft. Also is the cable from what year Mustang.
You want as much clearance as possible. The cable does come with a heat shield which will help, in our case we bent the headers as far as we could out of the way and so far have had no issues. Most of the headers we offer will have a little more clearance than these did but this car will be getting an engine swap (hint hint) in the future so we will be changing things around on it.
wonder if it would work with 72 maverick?
Bill, great video, As always !
The cable clutch is near of the header, it's not critical with the heat ???
Mine is broken like this way... :-/
The starter would stop you from removing the bellhousing from the block but the transmission should be able to seperate from the bellhousing. I would check the fork to see if the throwout bearing is hung up on the original clutch
Or what type of headers are best for this cable setup
Thanks for that. Mike
Are we looking at the rear main engine seal (11:39)? The car is pretty old. Would this be a good time to replace that seal?
Hey bill I recently bought a 66 mustang 3speed with a straight 6 if I wanted to upgrade to a 289 would I need to do a T5 conversion in order for it to work?
I wish I had found your video last week, I just did this swap on jack stands last sunday
and yes it sucked :)
I've got power brakes on my 67 what's another option for clutch cable linkage? Go hydraulic?
15:55 the spider he knocked of lol
I did the power tower shifter. What shifter boot did you guys use. The shiftr boot that came with the conversion kit for my 65 coupe will not fit over the power tower shifter
Is the clutch cable kit usable either power brakes?
You are killing me with the tool list. Luckily, your videos are worth watching.
We have 67 convertible too! I dropped in T5 wc about 15 years ago but regret not doing the cable clutch linkage. I had to cut off the cable tab on the bell housing. Is there a repair kit for that or do I have to totally replace it? Funny, I installed the pro 5.0 shifter, same Hurst shift lever, long tube headers, center force clutch, very similar upgrades! Edelbrock 500 cfm 4bbl and performer manifold
Can you post a link to the pro 5.0 shifter y’all used?
The tool list was a bit involved with that job but we like to give you a idea of what you need to do the job.
Bill Tumas How long did this take in real time? How many hours labor?
this is how I installed a Tremec 5spd in my 1965 289 Mustang using all the original clutch pedal and clutch linkage assemble including the 1965 throwout bearing arm and throwout bearing. Take a 1965 Bell housing and drill out the two fulcrum mounting rivets. index using the four transmission mounting holes a template, plexiglass is good. Drill the two 1965 fulcrum holes. Take your template and bolt t to your new 5sdg bell housing. drill the two fulcrum holes and counter sink them. . Take out the cable pitot arm. As you stated the imput shafts are different. Between a top loader and a Tremec, 5/8th of an inch longer Tremec. So I machined aluminum bar stock 5/8th of an inch thick and made a spacer to move the 1965 fulcrum forward in the 5 spd bell housing and bolted it down with grade 8 fine thread bolts and metal locking nuts. That is it, no cables, no hydraulics. So the money I saved not going hydraulic or cable went to a aluminium drive shaft. I also used a diaphragm 10 1/2 inch clutch. So I used the solid input shaft bearing, 1965 throwout bearing, 1965 throw out bearing arm. The conversion cost me less than $20 less the machine shop, which was free for me, we had a Bridge Port. And I would never go back to a toploader, never. I have had this in my car 35 years. I also have a very cool front suspension modification using all For OEM parts that does the Shelby drop, but when I finished the car is almost level. It does sit low like the normal modification. This allows for no rolling fenders and bigger tires. And it only requires one shim per upper control arm bolt.
Could you use this to convert a 65 fastback automatic to a manual?
Wow very cool video
Good morning, does the T5 Tremec transmission apply to a Ford Maverick?
I try to use mostly hand tools so people at home can see it can be done., while common today not everyone has power/air tools. I do break out the cordless impact on occasion though lol
Hey mate I gotta 81 foxbody are they the same set up or different 👍
Hi what headers were used for this conversion plz ? as mine are in the way of clutch cable, i have headman 88300 ...... thanks
So the pedal return spring is no longer needed?
So what is the total cost involved for this swap?
They are Magnum 500s, 15x7 front and 15x8 rear. 225 60 15 front and 245 60 15 rear
i have a 74 mercury capri v6 2.8l auto. I would like to convert it to standard. what gear box can i use? also will a 4speed gearbox from a 73 mercury capri 2.6l work and are those fly wheels the same?
We had no clearance issues when using the late model fork and late model bellhousing.
Where would I find a kit for a Cleveland it’s been hard I need a 164t with a 10.5 clutch to fit my starter.
Hey Bill will this kit work with a brake booster?
There are other ways to do the T-5 swap but if you are using a late model bellhousing you need the correct matching flywheel and yes you want to use a pilot bushing.
specifically what rim and tire size does that car has?
I know this may sound dumb, but where would I find these wires?
does this upgrade an original 4speed to 5 speed?
Check out the CJ Blooper Reel if you want to see a few outtakes from the shop.
Can you fit the 5 speed to a 260 v8?
What brand long tubes are they?
Power brake upgrade?
whats the part number for the flywheel and the starter??
May want to check runout on flywheel and bell housing so as not to void warranty.
What would be the best manual transmission to put on my 65 Thunderbird that has an FE390 in it? T45? T5? Curious if anyone has done it?
Bill , not to be critical but doesn't Tremec require checking the run - out on the bellhousing register? Just finished a TKX & they were adamant about the run-out being 0 to .005 Max . Maybe the T-5 isn't as critical ?
the TR6060 wouldn't fit in this car? just curious.
Will this kit work with a 68 mustang with a 351 cleveland?
How about a detail first to stay as clean as possible? I would have wanted to use factory exhaust manifolds extrude honed for better fitment & would look much neater than bent to hell headers. Great work
The kit says its only for 1979 year models and up?
Will this be applicable for a 67 cougar?
Is it possible to put a t5 into a 65 mustang
Yes you would need to your an original 6 cylinder bellhousing and a conversion plate
Great video! I'm just hoping my Tremec install on my '67', 390 goes as smoothly as yours did.
Rick did you install the 5 speed in your fastback yet and if so how's it shifting? I installed one in my 67 and it's pretty notchy with shifting but I still only have 400 miles on it? But it doesn't shift that smoothly at all?? Thoughts?
@@monstergreen6728 Never did the install, maybe this year.
@@LittleBouchet Copy that, mine is all done, I just wish it shifted better but amybe with more miles on it and a change out of oil will help, but much better than the top laoder I had in there that's for. At 70 I'm at 1900 rpm instead of 3600? Big difference with that 5 th gear! Keep me posted! Jerry
The video was over an hour long with all the swearing that took place in that install :) We had to trim it down somewhere so they were saved for the blooper real. The rail style subframe connectors from Global West are my favorites, part SFC13
Great! Perhaps that can be done with a 6-speed manual transmission in a 1970 Chevy Chevelle. However, that can go more than 120 mph because of the 6-speed manual transmission upgrade, so perhaps upgrading to a 300km/h speedometer is a must.
But officer, I couldn’t be going 140, my speedometer only goes to 120………….
Do you have any video of your 65? I just love looking at other peoples' classics and projects.
I wish my mustang would look good as the ones here
What about a cable for people with power brakes ?
Nice video. I installed a T5 in my 66 coupe in my garage on jack stands. Wasn't very fun but it got in there!
*T5z
What type off headers do you have on that stang to clear the t-5 with the cable setup
It has Flowtech headers, CJ part number EXHD9.
Very nice car what size are the tire sizes thanks.
Hi can you use the old yoke pressure plate and crossmember? I saw you used new ones?
The yoke, clutch, and crossmember are specific for the T-5 swap.
While it is possible and I have done similar swaps myself on jackstands, by all means if you have any way to access a lift do it! :)
Im going to need the part number for the starter as well
would this setup work with a 1971 maverick with a 6 cyl I can use the stock bell housing also as long as I get an adapter for the T-5 trans.
We have installed a T-5 in a 6 cylinder Mustang back when we had our shop, as long as you can get the correct adapter you should be fine.
So I am doing this kit on a 69 Mustang, going from a toploader to the 5 speed. Few things to note (that really pissed me off), some of which you'll only find out after purchasing:
The 5000 dollar Deluxe kit doesn't come with a reverse light pigtail. Come on CJ Pony Parts - this is stupid cheap and should have been included. Heck, it's even demonstrated in this video. I categorize this under "nickel and dime" tactics. The pigtail coming off the transmission is the neutral safety switch, which you (probably) won't use.
The 5000 dollar Deluxe kit doesn't come with new transmission mount hardware, so I have a brand new setup with two crusty transmission mount nuts. This should have been included. More "nickel and dime".
The transmission ships dry, which is to be expected. But the 5000 dollar Deluxe kit doesn't include fluid. Guess I'll get my own, but an approved fluid should have been included.
The 5000 dollar Deluxe kit doesn't tell you that only specific headers will work with this kit, so I'll let all you 69/70 Mustang guys know now: You'll need Hedman 88660's to be able to run the clutch cable. Only upon reading the MDL clutch cable install paperwork do they tell you that you need a few select headers (Hedmans were the cheapest) or you won't be able to run the clutch cable through the bellhousing mount at all; my Hooker long tubes were so close to the through-hole that even if I could get the cable through, it would have been a nightmare to route it away from the heat. They also repeatedly say that melting the cable is not warrantied, even if you use their recommended headers. So wrap your headers? But wait! That voids the header warranty. So lose-lose situation.
They'll send you three new gears for your speedo cable, 18, 20, and 23. You'll need to use an online calculator (CJ can't help with this) to determine which one to use; if you're going from a toploader like I was, make sure you don't re-use your old gear, the T5 drive gear is reverse-cut and your speedo cable won't mesh. I needed a 17-tooth, but the kit came with an 18. Close enough.
So question. I have a 65 mustang with a 3 speed automatic and I want to upgrade it to a 5 speed as well. However, this video is about the t5 manual and I want to keep it automatic. Is there an auto version of the T5, or would you recommend a different trans? If so, which one?
The AOD would be the easiest swap to a modern automatic.
