95 v8 + 95 ranger. tired of searching forums.

DangerRanger5L · Jun 10, 2015

I just need some quick answers. How do I make a 94 t5 fit my 95 2wd step side. Can I put a mustang clutch pedal in and make a cable for it? Or do I have to buy the $500 external clutch slave setup. I can only find things on auto trans and non tremec t5's. Or if someone can post a link I can find all this on that would be great as well. I'm just tired of lurking forums.

Thanks to whoever can help me out.

T5 is a different beast if it were me id go with a ranger pedal assembly and the external slave setup for convenience the main reason we all go 4r70w is for the lack of needing a tune and its all bolt in not to say it cant be done with a t5 there are just simpler options

DangerRanger5L · Jun 11, 2015

The only problem with that is, I don't want an automatic hahaha. I have a t5 from a 94 cobra, which leads me to believe it's a tremec t5, but it doesn't say tremec on it, only borg warner. I'm just confused. I have everything else figured out, for some reason I just can't figure out this trans situation.

DangerRanger5L · Jun 11, 2015

And what what do you mean by needing a tune? It's going to be a factory motor. No mods exept for the intake and full exhaust.

That assumes you're using an Explorer 5.0 ECU. It never came with a manual...

If you're using a Mustang, or F150 ECU, it's a non-issue. (But you need a distributor as I understand it...)

DangerRanger5L · Jun 12, 2015

So the 95 mustang 5.0 ho motor came with the ecu for that motor. And I'm picking up a 94 cobra t5 this weekend. It should be ok if I custom make a bracket to hold the external slave right?

willy · Jun 12, 2015

Yes as long as you make brackets to hold the slave ypu should be fine and if ypur using a mustang motor with a manual trans no tune is needed

SenorNoob · Jun 12, 2015

You have it figured out by the sound of things...

Edit: Ninja-ed

Thank you guys! Just needed the reassurance haha. I'll post a build thread. Me and a few guys from the shop u work at are going to monster garage it and get it running in like 12 hours. Hopefully.

87-88 Thunderbird turbocoupes used a hydraulic clutch on a t5, that bell is different than all the others. Just might be what you're looking for...

The 94-95 t5 uses the longer input shaft (5/8" longer)... I believe that input shaft will have to be swapped out for the shorter input shaft

DangerRanger5L · Jun 13, 2015

Thanks Kunar, I'm pretty much all set up for this conversion. I've made the call, and I'm committed to buying this 94 cobra trans. But if it blows, I'll be looking for that transmission.

DangerRanger5L · Jun 13, 2015

But snoranger, I have the bellhousing for it... it shouldn't make a difference right?

snoranger · Jun 13, 2015

If you have the 94-95 bellhousing, it will be fine. Just don't try to use the 94-95 trans with the earlier bellhousing.

Mac · Jun 13, 2015

One thing that is different with the 94-95 bellhousing is that it is angled downward instead of being horizontal, might cause interference with exhaust or in mounting the slave bracket. All T5's have been Tremec since 84-85 (Tremec bought rights to the BorgWarner. That Cobra trans is one of the strongest T-5's made.
