YOOT Member 1,201 Member For: 22y 25d Location: Birkdale Posted 19/06/04 07:05 AM Share Posted 19/06/04 07:05 AM About the only change I want to make to the T5 is to get a ripper shifter from the states for about $500, it gives a sorter throw and its adjustable (somehow) so you can dial out the 2nd to 3rd mishap. The shifter is shorter too. Although personally I have found my box to be a gem with no shifting dramas, but it could just be my driving skill :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8851-upgrade-your-t5/page/3/#findComment-134728 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check it out. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8851-upgrade-your-t5/page/3/#findComment-437161 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just stripped 3rd gear in my turbo eb with 470rwhp, and cant afford a 6speed conversion←PPG make some gearsets for T5's, perhaps give them a call. Might work out cheaper than importing G-Force stuff.
