cable clutch t5 swap?

I don't see why not, but the cable might not be long enough or vice versa. The stock t5's are weak and you need a shifter extension that "Spinning Wheels SC" sells.

well i make a bunch more torque with my mustang then i do in the sc, and it has the original t5 in it still workin with no problems. Not too worried about breaking a T5 in the SC. Are older 89-93 n/a t-bird hydraulic clutch too?
 
Fair enough. I could have sworn that the SC was the only 5spd option out of these generations of tbirds/xr7's, but I dunno.

If you want a T5 that you aren't going to break, check out this one:

http://www.g-forcetransmissions.com/tran_gt-5.asp

If it can live behind a 600 hp drag motor, it will live in any SC!!!!!

Is there a particular reason you want to use a cable clutch with the T5? There are a couple of hydraulic throw out bearing kits for the T-5. McLeod makes one, & so does JMC Motorsport. Both are avail. from Mustangsplus.com. The mustangsplus p/n for the McLeod is #8287.

The Mustangsplus p/n's for the JMC Motorsport conversion are: #7579, #10990, #7581, #7582, & #8665. Different p/n's are for different T5's.

wouldnt put a g-force t5 in my car if they gave it to me for free. One reason being they use stock cases... and they have very bad service. Many have had problems with them warrantying trannys...:rolleyes:

I prefer to have a cable clutch setup in the car because i simply dont like hydraulic setups. I like having the ability to use an adjustable qaudrent/firewall adjuster for how i want the pedal. I supose ill just need to find out if i can get a cable long enough :confused:
 
Hydro clutch is also adj. I have one on my 94 mustang and would never go back to cable. Kind of one HUGE step backwards. Using a 94 up trans will help alittle with there longer input shaft/bellhousing putting the tranny back alittle farther to help get the shifter out from under the dash.
