Re: F150 tranny with overdrive
Sorry, I just don't see how the f-150 trans could cause any problems with the front wishbone. Never even heard of any problems before your mentioning it.
Close to 15K miles on mine, less on my Dad's but enough that if there were problems they would have shown up by now. ( motors are not stock and NOT driven like a stocker) Would love to see more on your club member's failure and this so-called "beefed-up" unit, whatever that may be ? Sounds more like a Mitchel O/D lover trying to spread bad rumors |

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive
Well folks I am on the struggle bus trying to post photos, but I finally completed assembly of the "Goldilocks" transmission today. It wasn't easy, but there is no way I could have done it without the help of a bunch of folks on the forum.
Special call out to Vince and Malak. Vince manages a great website and has always been polite answering my really dumb question. Malak for engineering a solution of the OD gear. Off modifying the driveshaft and arms. Sure I will have more silly questions. |

1st gear is 3.78 , 2nd 2.18, 3rd 1.42 4th 1.00 and 5th is .072 . As far as I'm concerned the ratios work very well with the 3.78 rear ratio and 40 horsepower. 1st gear is a little short but very usable and 5th will give you 60 mph at right around 2000 rpm. BritishV8.org has a complete list of T5 transmissions by tag number and application in their articles section with gear ratios for each. |

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive
Lots of good info here. I am not yet at the point of thinking too much about this -- I am still working to get my car on the road...but once I do, I will probably come back to this thread and consider the options given...
