Borg Warner World Class T-5 Transmission

Advance Adapters offers 2 complete kits for the T-5 transmission. They can be obtained in 2 different overall lengths.

Kit No. 50-1802 has an assembled length of 26.750 inches (For D-code 5 speed Mitsubishi)

Kit No. 50-1803 has an assembled length of 27.830 inches (For 5-code 5 speed Toyo Koygo)

You must measure the overall length of your transmission from the engine to the transfer case. Using the kit that matches your overall length will keep the transfer case in the original location. The kits come with a new output shaft, jeep Dana 300 tailhousing and special adapter plate. The new shaft and adapter housings are compatible with your World Class transmission. The transmission shaft IS NOT COMPATIBLE with the regular T5 transmission. In order to bolt this 5 speed to the new 5.0 liter engine you must use the bellhousing from Mustang type vehicles. This bellhousing was only compatible with a mechanical type clutch control. You will need to use Advance Adapters internal hydraulic release bearing that will fit over the T5 bearing retainer. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A BELLHOUSING THAT WAS NOT INTENDED FOR THE T5 TRANSMISSION. This particular bellhousing for the T5 has a special transmission index diameter and special length for exclusive use with the T5 transmission.

T4/T5 Complete Packages
Advanced Adapters offers a complete transmission assembly package composing of a Tremac World Class T4/T5 transmission, bellhousing and adapter kit. The transmission offers a 3.95 :1 low gear and an optional 5th gear (17% overdrive)

Kit No. 27-1004 T4 to BW1350 with overall length 26-3/4 inches

Kit No. 27-1005 T4 to BW1350 with overall length 2-1/2 inches

add Part No. 20-0021 for overdrive.

These kits require a 157 tooth flywheel.

Body:
The seam at the firewall and floor pan will need bent back with a sledgehammer. The floor pan may need some slight modification with a sledge hammer for clearance. A body lift over comes this problem.

Heater Box:
The passenger side valve cover will interfere with the heater box. You will need to cut out part of the plastic box to make room. You may be able to flip the piece you cut out and mold it back in.

These Adapters May Not Be Needed:
The adapters from Advance Adapters are generally for mating the Rangers transfer case to the new V8 transmission in order to keep the transfer case in it's original position and to avoid driveshaft modifications. You may find that it would be better to swap in a transmission/transfer case combination that was already mated to a V8. A good example of this would be a C4 and a Dana20. This may however call for a new or modified transmission crossmember. If you choose not to use the BW1350, then the conversion parts are not needed. Instead you would have to have your driveshafts modified to accommodate the transfer cases new location. The Ranger would benefit from having a new (larger in diameter) driveshaft made to handle the power of the V8. Either way, you may find it more beneficial to have your driveshafts modified (lengthened-shortened) that to do all the conversion work. It may also be cheaper in the end.
