What makes a world-class T5 preferable? The world-class T5 transmission had bearings on 1st, 2nd and 3rd mainshaft gears whereas the non-world-class T5 transmissions didn't. Secondly, the world-class transmissions used tapered roller bearings on the countershaft, whereas non-world-class transmissions used flat (cylindrical) roller bearings. The synchronizers are also quite different: world-class T5 transmissions used 3-piece blocker rings on 1st and 2nd and friction-lined (aka 'fiber' or 'composite') powder-coated steel-core rings on 3rd and 4th for longer life. Non-world-class T5 transmissions used one-piece brass blocker rings throughout. With these improvements, the world-class transmissions have proven more durable, although both kinds are rebuildable. (Generally, world-class T5 transmissions have higher torque ratings. Many of the non-world-class transmissions are rated for 265 ft-lbs, whereas many of the world-class transmissions are rated at 300 ft-lbs. The Ford Motorsports 'T5z' is rated 330 ft-lbs.)

All of our conversions are prototyped using the Borg Warner T5 gearbox as fitted to the Ford Sierra Cosworth 2WD, which was introduced in 1986. However this variant of the gearbox was one of only many Borg Warner variants as explained on the Borg Warner T5 Wikipedia page. While installing Vintage Metalworks’ T5 kit was straight forward, there were a few side effects that came with fitting a larger transmission into a Model A that weren’t so simple. For starters, installing the T5 meant changing over to an open driveline. Simple enough since Speedway Motors has a kit made specifically for the Model A. Description Features of the Tremec T5 include: an overdrive fifth gear assembly, die cast aluminum housings for reduced weight, tapered roller bearings on the cluster shaft, needle roller bearings under 1st to 4th gears to enhance performance and reduce noise.
