Wonder if anyone can help. Rebuilding a T10

[pmustang]

Hello Folks,

I have a Mustang GT, A factory one, 1965, Trans is a T10 with the cars VIN stamped in it showing its the born with trans.

I need to have it rebuilt here in Europe and thus need to order a rebuild kit from the states. A mistake would cost me dearly

Can anyone assist with which kit I need for the rebuild? I usually buy off ebay USA and ship to a freight forwarder.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,Peter

Scott Drake sells a kit  C5ZZ-7005-R4B, see

Summit Racing also sell the Scott Drake kit plus others.

How are the tranny gears?  Finding better gears will be tough when compared to finding Top Loader gears.

Best of luck

  Peter,
      That kit is fine but DO NOT reassemble your transmission without replacing the  "sliders" ( the actual parts that engage the gears when shifting) to the ''modern" design. There are two different versions based on the type of "dogs" ( or "keys") used on your synchro assemblies.  The difference is the amount of "bump" on the dogs . One style is thin and the other is far larger. "Sliders" are made for both styles with modern upgrades to improve shift quality and reduce "popping" out of gear that is so common to the T-10s.

Thanks folks,

I knew these were not as easy as a toploader :-( I have toploaders on the shelf and rebuild kits in stock for them.

The trans operates lovely, I mean its one of the nicest shifting cars I have ever had. Unfortunately it pops out of 2nd and 3rd while driving. Just cruising its pops out of third and second.

Cheers. Peter

  The new design sliders will correct that.

If new sliders do not fix it, then look
at the detents in the side cover.
It's possible that they are not
holding the pin. One fix can be to file a deeper grove.

     Peter ,
       The T-10 is actually a more simple design. For example the cluster does not have to be "dropped" to remove the output shaft. The only "major" downfall is the smaller ( than a toploader)) gears. Shifting is far more simple ( action wise) than a toploader. It is a great transmission for a "respectful" driver.Abuse IS better handled by a toploader.

Thanks guy
Can I assume its a T10 and not a super T10

   Correct "regular" NOT super. The "sliders" are the same though.

Thanks Randy and everyone else for the education on the T10.  Do you know where I can get the sliders?

As mentioned above about filing the deeper groove in the pins

This trans shifts like butter, absolutely wonderful. Top ten percent of manuals and I have went through nearly 150 cars in the past few years.

Is it probable that filing those deeper groove would sort this issue?

Gear box is silent, doesn't growl, graunch or do anything nasty.

Cheers. Peter

  Try Ebay for T-10 synchros . Some call them "hooked" or "back cut". I'll see if I can find you a link. A US company called Autogear may have them and they make THE best replacement brass there is. Better than original by my experience. Use a GL4 spec fluid ONLY not GL5 or synthetic.
