t-5

  1. LanceMaster

    I'd like to say something about the T-5

    In a T-5 use synthetic GL4 lube ONLY! The T-5 is inherently week, mainly due to it's bearing and journal design. BUT it is ok for moderate 4-wheeling, behind a 6-cylinder, given proper lubricant!!! Here's what I found; Not long after I bought my CJ7 I was doing routine maintenance. I went to...

    T-5 Synchro's Question

    I’m rebuilding a T-5 from an 85 CJ and I’m not sure if my rebuild kit came with the right parts. Of the 6 synchro’s in the kit, 2 are smaller diameter and clearly for 5th gear. I think I only need 1 here, but the kit came with 2. Of the other 4 rings, they are all the right diameter for 1/2...

    Removing trans / t-case. Do I need to drain? T-5 / D300

    My throwout bearing is squeaking. Sonofa.... I don't have a trans jack so I'm inclined to remove the transfer case and transmission one at a time. If I do that, do I need to drain the trans to prevent oil from getting all over my driveway, or should it be all sealed up? Bonus question: Any...

    T-5 brace removal

    So, I need to take off the plate that the T-5 sits on but i am worried I need to support the tranny to do so. Is that true? Can I simply remove it and clean up the mess I made and then bolt it back on?

    T-5 vs AX15 transmission differences

    Anyone know the difference between the T5 and AX15 transmissions? Will the AX15 fit a CJ7 with 258 and dana300? Jeep tech states the T5 is light duty and the AX15 med duty but wanting to know about installation differences if any? I found a AX15 that came out of a 1990 YJ with less than 50k...

    Proper fluid for Borg Warner T-5 (Non-World Class)

    I know what you are thinking... "Do a search!" or "Here we go again"... Well, I will be honest and say I have searched the heck out of this and found a significant amount of conflicting information. - My owners manual says to use GL-4 gear oil. - My Chilton's says use ATF. - I read...

    T-5 Transmission: Internal part for Reverse Lights?

    I am a recent owner of a restored CJ-8 and when trying to get it street legal, I found the Reverse Lights didn't work. I tested the two-prong switch and it was good. When I jump the contacts, the lights appear, so I am wondering what part inside the tranny is responsible for depressing the...

    T-5 to T176 swap

    Can you switch out a T-5 with a T-176 without a new bellhousing? I read the bolt pattern on a T-5 (butterfly) only matches 3 of the 4 bolts on the T176, but have also seen posts about switching a T-4 (same bolt pattern as the T-5) with a T176. So what's the real deal? I currently have a T-5...
