Do they handle the stock power ok? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74089-5-speed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk1 BA V8's had a TR-3650 5 speed, which is different again, much stronger than the T5.

We rarely see them at work. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74089-5-speed/#findComment-1093685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
