The prospect of rebuilding or modifying a transmission strikes fears in the heart of many mechanics. But in reality, the process is similar to rebuilding anything mechanical -- with patience and the right tools, it can be a straightforward, rewarding job. And you can save a lot of money by doing it yourself. In this book, you'll find everything from a basic introduction to how manual transmissions work to an in-depth explanation of how to rebuild one, all accompanied by full-color detailed photos. You'll learn how to diagnose transmission problems, as well as how to work on & replace clutches and flywheels. Although you can apply the lessons of the book to any manual transmission, you'll see examples of detailed step-by-step rebuilds of the Borg-Warner/TREMEC T-5. For those transmissions, you'll see identification by stampings, parts swapping between trannys, maintenance & upkeep, disassembly, inspection, and reassembly. You'll find a chapter devoted to modifications, including blueprinting, case & shaft alignment, gear end play, bearing preload, shift linkage alignment and optimization, upgrading and adding bearings, gear strengthening, short shifters, case modifications, alternative gear ratios, lightening internal parts, dog ring conversions, and cooling. The Borg-Warner T-5 transmission was used from 1981-2005 on Chevrolet S-10 pickup, S-10 Blazer, Sonoma, S-15 Jimmy, AMC Eagle, Jeep Truck, Nissan 280ZX turbo, Camaro, Firebird, Trans Am, and lots and lots of Mustangs. In the 1990's the T5 was used on Isuzu Rodeo 4 cyl., Honda Passport 4 cyl., Chevy Astro, and GMC Safari. Outside the US, the T-5 was used in the UK in the TVR and the Ford Sierra Cosworth, as well as Australian Ford Falcons. This brand new softbound book measures 8.25" x 10.63" and has 192 pages.
