That S10 4 speed tranny just might be a T5.
4 Attachment(s)
This is just a heads up alert for you folks out there searching salvage yards for an S10 T5 with a cable speedo connection.
S10 trucks sometimes had 4 speed transmissions. Some were Borg Warner T4s. It's rather interesting, but apparently Borg Warner but T4 guts inside of T5 cases, at least some of the time. In July I bought a T4 (Tag 1351-120) because as I inspected it, I noticed the outside looked EXACTLY like a T5. It had the bulge on the tail stock for a 5th gear and a cable speedo connection. See photos. The guts aren't worth anything to me but the tail stock and case lid are worth 3X what I paid. The 4 speed shifter guide plate can be tapped out and a 5 speed guide plate put in its place. So next time you walk past a 1988 or earlier S10/S15/Sonoma truck with a 4 speed MT, take a second look. You just might find something valuable. Link to pics on my BLOG - See 11/7/15 post. |

Very cool. I will be watching craigslist a little more closely. Great info. Thanks for supporting the forum with information like this!

Quick question...you say tailstock. ??? Tailshaft, maybe and tailshaft housing? Because don't you need the mechanical speedo *tailshaft* to have a mounting spot for the drive gear? And the tailshaft housing for the speedo slug with driven gear?
Just trying to clarify terms... and parts. Thanks! |
