is a tremec 5spd a t5?

[tim_pato]

i always assumed that the 5spd in my au was a t5, but my mate reckons there is a difference between a tremec and a t5

Tremec's a manufacturer. T5 is a design of gearbox.

In the AU's they're made by Borg Warner with the exception of the Tremec TR3650 found exclusively in the T3's.

Tremec do make a T5 but why you'd bother pulling out the BW to replace it with the Tremec version I don't know - not much benefit if any.

b2tf is half way right...............Yes your AU T5 is Tremec buit and will be stamped on the side of the box.

Haha.................Sorry mate.

I only know because I have a busted one sitting in the carport and a working one sitting on the back patio

Here's a pic with the markings.

Craig is right, only earlier T5's were made by BW.
