I think I have seen what I am gonna ask for somewhere before on the Web but since I cant find it now I'll ask here;
For those of us that are not totally worried about exact numbers matching in the resto of our cars and in the old spirit of "hot rodding" mixing/matching parts to fit one's wants for their car, is there a site I can go to and look up dimensions of different manual trannys?
Input spline count output spline count
Individual gear ratios
length overall (case) overall (tip of input to tip of output shaft) from front of case to center of shifter mechanism
width Diameter at fattest point
built in shifter or seperate shifter/rod setup
strength (trque/HP rating)
speedo drive setup and adaptation how to's
hyd. or mechanical clutch actuation? Internal or external slave?
I have had and gotten rid of a couple of B body length (actually out of trucks) 833 ODs because though I know they would fit and all, but knowing that I couldn't use a Hurst shifter with a factory F body console
(and having that "1 more gear" to play with certainly helps) I am looking into a couple of possible 5 speed swaps; I actually have a Dakota spec AX 15 here collecting dust; but is there a better choice? I realize that anything I do will take a cartain amount of custom-fabbing.
but would a T 5 be better? Which version? (S 10, GM F body, Mustang)
or a T 45? or another I have heard mentioned; an Aisin Warner (same co the AX 15 came from) R 154? or a (same company) W58? or something else that I am not even considering?
I'd bet that info could be useful for several members here, considering "something different" that wants to do a 5 speed for less than they could get one from Keisler. Yeah we'd be on our own, but sometimes that's the "fun" of it.
