[TR] Anyone done a T5 gearbox swap?

[Chad]

Brian-

There are lots of T5's out there with different gear ratios.

I picked
up a WC T5 out of an '85 Mustang to put behind my 215.  It has a .63 5th
gear!!!!

There are 3 or 4 Stags on Evilbay rightnow.....get yourself one!

Seeing the discussion about gearbox
swaps, I'm thinking of picking up a T5
for a future project. The problem I see
is this particular gearbox has
ratios of (1-5) 2.95 1.94 1.34 1 0.73. Does
anyone see an issue with the
first gear being so low? This box came out of a
V8 Camaro so it had a bit
more engine umph.

My long term plan is to pick up a
Stag, use a Buick 215 with a T5 while I
rebuild the stock Stag V8. I like
originality, so I'd want to have the
ability to put the Stag back to the way
it was. Of course, finding a 215 and
T5 is lot easier than finding a Stag...
but that's another story.

Thoughts on the T5 in any of the TR line would be
appreciated.
