Found this information on Hemmings...........
One of the most versatile transmissions in the last 20 years or so has been
the Borg-Warner T-5 manual transmission. This five-speed unit was used as
original equipment by several manufacturers and can be easily adapted into
older muscle cars as well. Based on the Borg Warner SR-4 and T-4 four-speed,
a fifth gear was added to the case, creating the T-5. Actually, American
Motors was the first manufacturer to use this transmission in the 1982
Spirit and Concord cars. Ford soon adopted the T-5, using this unit in the
1983 Mustangs and Thunderbirds. GM used the T-5 in the 1982 and up S/T
series pickups and small Blazers, and their Astro vans. They began
installing them in 1983 in the Camaros and Firebirds. Nissan also liked the
idea of an internal shifter linkage five-speed, and they used this
transmission in the 280ZX/300Z cars as well. Additionally, Honda and Isuzu
used the T-5 in some models in the 1990s.
