Identify the manual transmission assembly as follows:
| • | Calculate the forward gears |
| • | Measure the distance between the centerline of the output shaft
and the counter gear |
Notice: Use only DEXRON®-III Automatic Transmission Lubricant
for this manual transmission assembly. Other lubricants or additives may damage
the blocker ring friction material or the adhesives.
The Borg Warner model T5 5-speed manual transmission assembly
has the following features:
| • | Blocker ring synchronizers |

gears consisting of steel inner and outer cones and a tapered metal ring that
is lined on both sides with friction material similar to automatic transmission
friction plates |
| • | Independent and separately replaced synchronizer cones |
| • | 3RD speed and 4TH speed gear blocker rings that are conventional
in appearance and are lined with friction material |
| • | A brass 5TH speed gear blocker ring |
| • | Tapered roller bearings that support the mainshaft and the countershaft
(Must be shimmed for proper end play) |
| • | Caged roller bearings for 1ST speed through 4TH speed gears |
| • | A aluminum transmission case |
The manual transmission control is mounted on top of the extension housing.
The manual transmission control cannot be adjusted.
The manual transmission control must be serviced independently of the
manual transmission.
