What is wrong with a T5 transmission from a 94-95 mustang gt that makes them not desireable to swap? Is it something that you can change or is it not worth it?
1994 and 95 were the last two years Ford used the T-5 behind a V-8. With the introduction of the SN95 Mustangs, the bell housings in both 3.8L and 5.0L were made deeper to place the T-5 shifter in the correct location to the body. This in turn made the input shaft longer. The neutral safety switch was eliminated, as it was no longer needed. The GT 5.0L Mustangs received the standard input shaft bearing and aluminum bearing retainer, where the Cobras continued with the tapered or "cupped bearing" input shaft and steel front bearing retainer. Torque ratings for both remained the same as the 93 T-5 models. 4 cylinder T-5s were no longer needed when the 3.8L V6 motor came along and was replaced with 3.35 first gear ratio and a .68od. The only difference between the 3.8L and standard 5.0L T-5 was the input shaft length. Changing input shaft of the 3.8L T-5 with 93 input shaft, will result in a 93 and early spec T-5. Everything else remained the same. http://www.moderndriveline.com/index.htm The top is a C&P from the above site. Lots of very usefull information. I just finished a T5 conversion on a 1968 Cougar.
I see only one thing to correct in the C&P...the input shaft length is the same on the 3.8L and the 5.0L. I have one of each from a 95 Mustang. The 5.0L is in my modified 66 Mustang coupe and the 3.8 is behind a mild 302 in my wife's 64 Falcon.
I have 2 yards that will call me when they get in a late 80's early 90's 5.0 stang. I plan on getting everything from the back of the block to the drive shaft. Will the rear end fit under the maverick.....mods of course i assume. Since this keeps coming up and is hard to fine the information lets see if we can't get a tech article written with all the info.

So the only problem with these years of t5s is that they will sit back a little further due to the extra length?
All you have to do is swap the bell housing and input shaft from an older T5, and you're good to go. Takes like 30 minutes.
Hi I’m trying the same swap with 97 t5 with original bell housing can you give me details on how you did it with the 302 AOD swap
... post is a little old so you may not get a response from them. I'm sure the info you are looking for is on here somewhere.
