The T5 Transmission was developed and produced by Borg-Warner beginning in 1980. Borg-Warner continued to produce and develop this transmission until 1998 when Borg-Warner sold off its transmission division to Tremec.

The T5 transmission had an extended lifespan and was installed in a multitude of car applications.

The first application that the T5 was offered in was the AMC Spirit and Concord. From there the transmission was offered into manufacturers including General Motors, Ford, and even the Nissan 300 ZX Turbo.

By far the most popular application for the T5 has been in Ford cars, particularly the Ford Mustang.

As mentioned, the T5 was introduced into production beginning in 1980. At that time the transmission was under a classification, or internal name, called the “Non-World Class.”

The “World Class transmission” was designed to be able to meet standards from across the world. The World Class transmission first became popular beginning around 1985.

While this transmission can still be purchased and many aftermarket companies offer this, the application in normal production vehicles ended in 2010.

Pros and Cons

The Tremec T5 was a very popular transmission and used in over 200 applications over 30 years. Some of the reasons for its popularity were its overall reliability, light weight and the overdrive gear available in 5th gear.

The peak torque that this 5-speed manual transmission could handle was 265 lb-ft upon introduction. This power rating was the same for the non-world class as well as the original world class T5 transmission.
