T5 Tailhousings - What You Need to Know - Part 1

[@ModernDrivelineInc]

We have a a couple of questions regarding slip yokes so here is what we recommend. T-5 Front Shift Tail Housing Warning / Note / Update Since COVID-19 there have been some aftermarket slip yokes that are offered that are made incorrectly. The incorrectly made slip yokes will be 28-spline but measure 1.500" or larger. This tail housing, the Ford 28-spline T-5, and the aftermarket Tremec T-5 all use a 28-spline slip yoke that measures 1.498" MAXIMUM on the tube diameter. The bushing inner diameter is 1.500". All of the noted tail housings have the bushings installed THEN reamed to size. To compare, the GM 27-spline slip yoke has a 1.500-1.502" tube diameter and the bushing inside diameter in the tail housing is 1.503". So if you run across a slip yoke that does not fit by application... return it.

Can a camaro tail housing and top cover work on the mustang T-5. On my Mustang ll, I need the shifter location to be further back about 1.5 inches

Hello, Thank you for your question regarding the Camaro Tail & cover the answer is, Yes but not advised. The speedometer hole is not in the correct location for the Ford main shaft. The slip yoke for the ford main shaft is 0.003" smaller in diameter so it fits loose in the Camaro tail housing. You are better off getting an offset shifter for the Ford T-5 tail housing. We offer them: You searched for MD-88-421-234-03 - Modern Driveline or You searched for MD-88-421-244-03 - Modern Driveline We also offer crossmembers and adaptation for the front (adapters, longer input shafts, extended pilot bushings). Let us kow what you have.
