Re: [Amc-list] Concord is home

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The main thing is do NOT run the T5 low on oil! They only hold a quart to begin with. That's what killed the one that was in my '83 J10 (the trans is still sitting in my shed in one piece. I converted the truck most of the way to an AW4. Still need to make a trans crossbar, which I'll probably get to about February) 
   I thought about doing an AX-15 in my Spirit (I even bought the whole harness and computer to do it) but I scored a 2wd AW4 instead and bought another EFI harness and trans computer system for it. I'm going to do the mockup in my '80 Eagle (although with the motor shifted slightly to the right, clearances won't be exact)

I'd beg to differ on the AMC T5.
I do not believe it is as weak as everyone believes it is!
I have had mine in behind the 4.0L in mine for quite some time.
Yeah, the gear spacing is off a little.
But with 2:79's or 3:08's it is certainly driveable and not very objectional as far as gear spacing.
I want to take mine out, but have just not felt up to it, so I keep driving on it.
I've never opened it up from the day I bought it!
 
Yeah they can be broke and they did break.
I tend to think if it has survived till now it is probably one of the "good" ones.
 
I believe that being on a budget I would concentrate on the engine and not stress out too much on the trans till the need arises.
