In racing applications we have had heat and wear issues with Amsoil. This may just be for our application and work well in others. The way they sell Amsoil in the USA through a dealer program doesn't work or allow us to resell it.

GearBoxVideo do you have any sm465's for a video cause I got a 4wd 465 that needs a rebuild and is like to do it my self and id like to watch how to do it from some one that knows what there doing and has tips

[@GearBoxVideo]

Last I spoke with him he is doing pay channel stuff. I dont know where

[@63mrl]

Paul, with many of the T5 now have been rebuilt by person unfamiliar with the torque specs, I find myself repairing threads bosses for the input shaft bearing retainer (8 x 1.25M) and the upper left top extension housing bolt hole (10 x 1.0M) to avoid having to disassemble the entire transmission due to a stripped boss.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Sometimes porosity in the casting threads leads to stripping. I've seen the hole thread just pull out of the case with hardly any torque applied.

[@iblue9249]

at 19:13 you talk about the 3/16 dowel. I have lost mine for my t5 mustang transmission and am wondering if its truly necessary. and if so how can i get a new one.

[@GearBoxVideo]

It prevents the 1st gear sleeve from spinning . Some had 5mm balls. Cut down a drill bit to make it work or simply purchase one from a hardware store

How easily should the input shaft and yoke spin after final assembly? Mine is pretty tight, but I have not put any oil in it yet.

[@GearBoxVideo]

[@billmanley8000]

Do they make a heavy duty input shaft bearing retainer that is all steel. My wheel sleeve has come loose from the aluminum base

[@GearBoxVideo]

You can get cast steel ones. We stock them. Contact info is in the video

[@19digupherbones]

awesome video !!

[@narmale]

hey Paul, on the rear case support bearing on the output shaft, why do you not use 680 retainer there where the fit is loose on that race? the reason i ask is because i had the same race back out and broke two teeth off 2nd gear from shaft play, you could see where it was spinning in the case, and against the 5th gear

[@GearBoxVideo]

Because setup requires that bearing on first and until the front retainer is on is when preload is achieved. If it sets up before final preload you might not get an accurate reading

[@narmale]

@@GearBoxVideo ok so no reason besides that then, thank you Paul 🙂

[@d.greg.lynn100]

Would you ever consider showing a G56 rebuild? Thanks.

[@unclequack5445]

I'm guessing it's called ''World Class'' because they are used in vehicles world wide?

[@715101]

I'm currently changing the input shaft bearing and seal on a t5 now, I was worried i lost a shim getting the bearing pressed on, but after watching this it appears I have what I need 🤔 26:09 I thought there was an extra shim maybe behind the bearing cage? but I think the Torrington race came out with the input shaft then I put it back on the main shaft and then I confused myself Would an extra shim be needed behind there to preload the bearing?

[@GearBoxVideo]

Shims are only under the bearing race.. there is no preload just zero to .003 endplay is my setup

[@715101]

Thank you this is my first time working on a gearbox these videos are really helpful for a visual reference , I have checked the end play it appears to be at zero,

[@dannymitchell5264]

so have a questing is it ok to use the carbon fiber reverse gear synchro rings instead of the brass one's ? I found them on AMP distributing and you videos are great

[@GearBoxVideo]

Won't matter much. Basically using T45 rings in place of the stock ones

[@Turkeydinner]

Doesn't the synchronizer ring wear which, over time, allows it to slip down the cone further and hit the gear? I'm a noob. Rebuilt my first gearbox (foxbody T5) using KZbin and probably some of your content. Thanks! My top plate had somehow jammed into 3rd. Long story short, I rebuilt everything. Ragged on it for a while and eventually it started rolling out of 5th on decel. I'm back on KZbin researching before I pull the gearbox apart again. THANKS SO MUCH for the vids. I love photography, too. If you have trouble with focusing your cam. Use auto focus to get it setup then turn focus to manual so it doesn't get confused by focusing on your hand or tools as you're pointing stuff out to us. Thanks again. Now I'm going to figure out what happened in my T5. Detent pin retainers? Annnyway..... we'll see.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Thanks for watching the vids. I had fixed the focus thing a long time ago.

[@Turkeydinner]

@@GearBoxVideo is see that as I watch your other stuff. Nice work, very crispy. Really makes a difference viewing how you bevelled the gear and seeing how you built the main shaft. Great!

[@GearBoxVideo]

Press is back supporting the inside diameter

[@donlovelace2127]

Off topic, will all shift forks covers interchange by changing the shift forks?

[@GearBoxVideo]

T5 world class and non-world class transmissions all have the same bolt pattern on the cover. They also use the same forks. However, some forks on newer units had a little bit more material on them. So you can interchange any way you like

[@GearBoxVideo]

Probably blew it up. Sounds like broken gears

[@TheRoguelement]

Does it make any difference that you are DRY fitting these ? Will that same "Lock up" happen in the oil rich environment it live's in ? I'm asking because I would think it wouldn't ? Am I wrong ? Hey hand fit parts are always best but are they that necessary ?

[@GearBoxVideo]

These are NEW parts. The dry fitting process helps burnish the synchros in. Oil isn't the answer and will not prevent rings from sticking again when new. The problem happens often because in shipping gearboxes the rings will get stuck to the gears usually from boxes being banged around. Resellers such as Jegs or Summitt deal with complaints and returns because transmissions appear stuck in gear when they are not.

[@bigbl0ck28]

Hi paul, I have a 1994 t5 out of a fbody, it has the ford bolt pattern, im planning on mounting it to a sbc, I found a free t5 bellhousing off of a 1991 dually that has the sm465 trans, is the bearing retainer hole the same diameter on the car t5 as the t4 from the truck?

[@GearBoxVideo]

The retainer is larger and Bott pattern different

[@johncampbell-lp2cl]

I replaced the synchs on my '89 S-10 T-5 transmission. I followed the video several times. Left nothing out. After pressing on the 5th gear up to the bearing I had 375 thou between the end of the gear and the groove for the c-clip? but if I put the gear assembly in the case, and slide on the big fifth gear. They are aligned perfectly. So how do I deal with the 375 thou space. If I ran it that way the gear would just back to the c-clip. Leaving only contact with about half the gear on each? What do I do? Help!!!!

[@gregg4164]

I see you used PVC pipe and fittings for your compressed air system in your shop. You should NEVER use PVC pipe and fittings for any compressed air or gases. They are not designed for air or gas. Fluids only. The reason being is if something was to ever hit the pipe or fittings and they break it explodes, sending shrapnel like fragments in all directions. There are plastic piping systems designed for compressed air but standard plumbing grade PVC pie and fittings are NOT and it is a very dangerous practice to use it this way.

[@GearBoxVideo]

Hi, thanks for your concern. I get this from a lot of people. Reprimanding me about stuff in my shop is something some people think is cool. Truth is its an old system from a previous tenant that I don't use. So I'm not an idiot and there is no air that goes thru it. Maybe say something like "Hey Paul do you run high pressure air thru those pipes?"

[@stevenbelue5496]

I work in frame/collision repair and have worked for two auto rebuilders and both used PVC and/or PCVC for compressor lines. I'm wanting to say around 125psi maybe more I don't remember but I can't tell you how many times we've busted the lines, how many times we've had to chisel down into the concrete for repairs, many many times over the last 20 yrs. I've had one explode right in my face and it really wasnt that violent and I don't recall one time that it sent shrapnel flying that hurt anyone, not saying it can't happen just saying in my experience at the psi we ran it didn't seem to be very dangerous. Having been around it as much as I have I wouldn't hesitate to use it in my personal shop.
