I had a T-5 in my 57 Chevy pu for a while, so I had occasion to learn a lot about them. There are many, many versions of T5, and the internal specs-gear ratios -can be determined by searching the tag number on the trans case. There is at least one website which lists virtually every tag number and its corresponding specs. I wish I knew that when I bought a unit that came from a 6 cyl engine instead of an 8.
