speaking of mustang t5's, im guessing trying to put one in my z would be rather difficult from what has been said here? the junkyard has 2 going for 250 each, so im contemplating getting the t5 since they seem to hold up better.

having a noob moment) where all in the inside of the tranny. anyway i had to put a rebuild kit. but i found just buying a 240sx tranny rebuilt and swapping over bellhousings is alot easier then pulling all the gears off and what not. the turbo tranny is weaker then a 240sx tranny which is the same as 300zx non turbo tranny.

This write up is intended to:.. provide the answer to the question; "how can I tell the difference between the heavy duty Borg Warner T5 transmission used in the 1982 / 83 280ZX Turbo from the Standard Nissan 5 speed transmission?"

#1... the original poster of that thread had no idea what he was talking about.
#2... Yasin was saying he has a Borg Warner T5 AND an N/A tranny aka "B series."

2+2 T5 = Coupe T5 - identical!!
The regular NA Speed is generally known as the "B" series tranny and will handle lots of power (400hp easy, I believe Sustin 240hoke had one in his heavily mod'd L28Turbo), just watch those powershifts and clutch dumps and drag racing situations.
I have a T5 and a Bseries in the garage, I can take pics if you need a side by side comparo?
