Others
-
"T56" Borg Warner 6 speed. Common bolt pattern but multiple input shaft lengths. GM, Ford and Chrysler all used this transmission. Best bet is to identify original application and year. Versions that originally had the "Pull" clutch styles can be difficult to adapt.
-
T5
-
Borg-Warner built this transmission beginning in the early 80's and another company under licence continues to do so. Multiple applications including imports. The left unit is a GM 4 cylinder version with the fine spline input and the tall narrow pattern. There are 2 main bolt patterns; The GM versions mated to the V6 and V8 up to 1991 used the standard Muncie or "350MT" pattern. The GM 4 cylinders and Ford applications used the tall narow pattern. Except for the ones with the "350MT" pattern, input shaft length varies according to the application and year so it is best to call with a measurement if using the Ford T5 or GM 4 cylinder version.
