zxtman Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 Does anyone offer different gear ratios from stock for the T5? I need to rebuild it and would like to make 1st & 2nd a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 There are several different combinations of gears in the T5, BUT to the best of my knowledge, there is only 1 Nissan L6 compatible input shaft. If you have a Chevrolet or Ford T5, there are several different versions, but the lowest numeric first gear is 2.95. The Nissan T5 is 3.5 and the early Ford is 3.27 while the later one is same as Chevy's 2.95. The smaller the number, the stronger the tranny when it comes to T5's. Depending on the number of different cluster gears is the limiting factor. It might be possible to use the modified Ford input (or maybe GM) in the Nissan case for a more desireable ratio, but I still have no clue what OEM trans you have. You would have to have the input shortened and sized for the throwout bearing and would need a clutch disc of the appropriate diameter and spline count.
