Gearboxman T5 gearkits

After waiting ten years in the vain hope that someone would develop a gearset suitable for the Borg-Warner T5 gearbox, capable of handling the "big grunt" engines, we gave up.... waiting, that is!

The T5 has always had the potential to be an ideal "clubman" gearbox. It just needed some fine tuning.

We have, over time, seen just about all that is imperfect with a stock T5, first-hand. With that in mind, we have come up with a gearset that should address any inherent weaknesses of this transmission.

Short or Long?

Did I say "a gearset"? We have actually come up with two. The first, our wide ratio kit, has the ratios of the standard Sierra Cosworth gearbox: many clients run wide power band engines, and felt that close-ratio would not be a benefit to them.

The second gearset is close-ratio (pictured). This will suit high output normally aspirated, or generally narrow power band engine applications.

See the info box on the right for these ratios and more information.

We can supply this kit fitted to a gearbox on an exchange or outright-buy basis, fit it to your 'box, or just supply the kit - contact us for more information.

Uprated selector forks

In addition to the gearsets, we have identified a weakness in the standard selector forks.

If they don't break, they wear out the selector tips on a regular basis, so we're making selector fork kits as well.

We've done away with the nasty hook-in finger that is used on the 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th forks to come up with single piece selectors.

We've made this kit optional, so leaving it up to you.
