Follow along with me as I install a Borg Warner 5 speed in my '52 F-1.
A little background......my F-1 has a mostly stock flathead V8 and a column shifted 3 speed trans. It runs and drives good, but really needs a couple extra gears. Especially on hills...
I'm also hoping to gain some mpg's on longer trips.
So I picked up a t-5 trans from a '90 S-10 and an adapter ...
There are a zillion t-5 articles on the web, so I won't go into all of the technical differences of these transmissions.
This is your basic non world class t-5....I did pull it apart and check for any problems. It was really clean inside and the bearings and syncro's looked real good.
Fingers crossed...
Stay tuned...
