I paid $350.00 for a 98 about a year ago and thought I got a pretty good deal since no shipping cost were involved. If it checks out, sounds like a real good buy.

Hi Garet,
This is a great price for such a low mileage T5. You will be fortunate if you get it.

Jose,
Well I did get it, figured $250 was too good to pass up. I also picked up a SII today (for those keeping track, it was listed in the LA Craigslist for $1500, but I got it for $1k.) The guy selling the T-5 is local to me and runs in Demolition Derbies. My two boys (7 and 4) were extremely excited to visit this guys yard, as he had rows and rows of cars in various states of destruction, and even some classics he was restoring.
Anyway, now that I actually own an Alpine (to go along with my SAOCA "2002 Charter Member" shirt) I look forward to being much more active on the boards and will be reaching out for help quite a bit. My restoration window is 4 years, so I hope I have given myself adequate time.
Thanks!
Garet

Gah, it has a 3.8 bellhousing on it, but the tranny is stamped 1352-065, which from what I can tell came out of an 84 Mustang/Capri 5.0:
1352-065 Ford 1984 Mustang/Capri 5.0 V8 U R:2.76 1st:2.95 2nd:1.94 3rd:1.34 4th:1.00 5th0.63
Also, I found TTET 1798. Not sure what that means though . . .
Is this an OK tranny to use, or is the gearing going to be a problem for the V-6?
And thanks for keeping me honest!

Well, now I found that TTET 1798 looks like it has the proper ratios for a 3.8 V-6:
TREMEC PN Weight Torq Cap. GVW 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th R
TTET1798 75 220 5,500 3.35 1.99 1.33 1.00 0.68 N/A 3.15
So it may be the case is used in multiple applications, but the tag indicates whats inside.

The stamping on the tranny or tail shaft is just the part number. You can contact Jeff at Tremec. He can tell you more.
Jeff Chytil jeff.chytil@ttcautomotive.com
I have a B/W T-5 from a '95 3.8 Mustang. Ratios are 1 - 5
3.35 1.93 1.29 1.00 0.72 The tag# is 1532-238
The TTET numbers are after Tremec took over.
It's the spline count and length of the input shaft that come int play also. 7.85", 10 spline. The pilot spud will need to be turned down to 0.59
