Default Re: Help with transmission selection

If you can locate the tag on the transmission it will ID the transmission for you. I see the chart I uploaded is not readable! But it is online.

I'm a big Ford T5 fan, but there are some things to consider:

1. Does not use the more common S-10 bellhousing mounting pattern and most adapters are the S-10 pattern. Check with Cornhuskers on an adapter.

2. The shifter location is further aft than the S-10 transmissions. You can switch out the tail housings which includes the shifter. There are other solutions as well.

3. The speedometer connection is a bit of an issue and may require an electronic sending unit. If the tail shaft is swapped and it is an early S-10 it will take a mechanical cable. There are other solutions.

4. Same situation on the front bearing retainer and input shaft dia and teeth count as with the mounting bolts, Ford is different than the more common S-10 conversion parts. And again, give Cornhuskers a call.

Here are some links with the ID chart data:
