Re: [Amc-list] Eagle 5spd.

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The T5 was also used in Jeep J10s with the 4.2L '80 to '85 (I have one for parts from my '83 J10, complete with used clutch and bellhousing for $75. It was run low on oil and synchros are stuck together)

Pretty much so, according to the TSM. The only difference is fifth gear -- the six cylinder has a steeper OD gear than the four (0.76:1 for the six, 0.86:1 for the four). All manual trannys in the Eagle used a 2.73 axle ratio with the four, Spirits and Concords used a 3.08. You'd think the Eagle would have had the lower gear!

I found the 5speeds.com site today - downloaded the free Autodyne RPM Calculator & plugged in
tire sizes for 15" - 16" - 17" rims using the T-4 gear ratios from offroaders.com. - very cool
Utility.
 
The 2.73 rear ratio makes sense for a DD - the 3.08 gets a nod for around town driving &
the 3.54 requires 4 bolt mains & scattersheild ......
 
With the 2.73 ratio - looks like the car will have better shift points with 17" rims !
 
 
 
 
The T-5 is a light duty transmissions five speed transmission that looks 
very similar to the SR-4 and T-4, except for the bulge the shift lever 
housing for the overdrive. The T-5 also looks about 10% bigger all 
around than the 4 speeds. This transmission was manufactured by 
Borg-Warner and may say Ford on the top cover. The case is aluminum and 
has a casting numbers on the drivers side of 13-52. The T-5 has a 1 1/8" 
10 spline input shaft and a 23 spine output shaft.
 
 
 
 
      Usage
 
The T-5 was used in CJs from 1982 until 1986.
