ba na t5 vs turbo t5 input shaft, is there a difference?

[Pedro11983]

Be interested to hear if anyone actually fitted a N/A t5 into a xr6 turbo and if it went straight in?

 

Cheers

When I did a turbo conversion I removed the t5 and put in a t5z and subsequently replaced the t5z 2 times due to failures. t5 and t5z are junk.

 

The input shaft on the t5z has longer splines for the clutch than the t5.

You cannot simply swap the input shaft as the gear-set on the shaft is different for each gearbox.

It may still work, or you clutch disc may run out of travel on the splines, who knows.

I dont know where my pictures of this ended up, but I can take some more later in the week.

 

t5 has speed sensor in rear of the box housing, t5z does not.

t5 has the much lower gear ratios.

 

Given how weak the t5z boxes are, it would be somewhat a waste of time putting a t5 box behind a turbo car, the t5 would have to be free to consider it.

 

also I never actually checked if turbo clutch fit in a na bell-housing, both bell-housing's kinda looked identical to me.

So I’m at the point where I can’t seem to find a reasonably priced  good condition t5z.....they all seem rough...noisy bearings...

Overpriced......there’s some dodgy backyard ford wreckers all around Campbelltown...Jeezus.....pretty sure half the cars must be pinched.....

 

how hard is it that go auto......? I’m at the end of my tether .....

 

either that that or I’ll part out the heap of junk.....
