Palerider Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Are there any mods done to the 5-spd manual transmission on the Terlingua? Is the 375 HP vs 210 of the base car an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68fastback Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Are there any mods done to the 5-spd manual transmission on the Terlingua? Is the 375 HP vs 210 of the base car an issue? I think it's the Tremec T5 -- the one rated at 300 ft-lbs (not certain tho). They're pretty tough. I notice on some enthusiast sites they often convert early mustang SBFs (302s and 351s) for use with the T5 too so it must be fairly tough -- especially on the street or a road-course. I would not recommend regularly dropping the hammer at 5K with 'ET-streets' at the strip tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy23c Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 No trsnny mods, it has held up very well under testing. Sure once you get one, if you wish, you can beef it up, but we do not feel it needs it... Hope this helps. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I've been driving the Orange Terlinuga mule off and on. It has about 5,000+ miles on it already. Those miles are a mix of track, city and highway driving. A lot of hard miles for certain. No transmission issues or any other on this wild hair of a ride. I can't wait to get ours and I can assure whoever else is getting one, you''ll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
