For the longest time, an overdrive automatic meant a four-speed box. Then the five-speed automatic arrived; and now Ford (and others) is offering six-speed automatics in everything from performance cars like the Mustang to crossovers and even fullsize trucks. The same thing has happened on the manual transmission side of the landscape as well. First came the four-speed overdrives, then the infamous T5 five-speed-which could be found in everything from the Mustang and Camaro to S10 pickups and even the AMC Eagle. Eventually the six-speed manual transmission debuted in high-end performance cars like the Mustang Cobra, Dodge Viper, and Corvette. Now we&#8217;re seeing six-speed overdrive transmissions in everything from front-wheel-drive commuters to the new Mustang (even the base V-6 model). Suffice it to say, in the name of efficiency and economy, the overdrive transmission is a must-have for today&#8217;s driving enjoyment and speeds.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mustangandfords.com\/how-to\/drivetrain\/mdmp-1011-1969-ford-mustang-t5-transmission-swap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read More Here&#8230;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/shop\/solutions\/engine-solutions\/classic-mustang-cougar-1969-70\/\">CLICK HERE FOR: MDL T5 Conversion for 69-70 Mustang<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/product-category\/transmissions\/5-speed-transmissions\/t5\/\">Click Here to Shop T5 Transmission only<\/a><\/strong><\/span><em><strong>Additional information:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/the-many-different-faces-of-the-t5\/?preview_id=37383&amp;preview_nonce=3260344105&amp;_thumbnail_id=40448&amp;preview=true\">History of the T5<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/tremec-t-5\/\">More information on T5&#8217;s<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tremec.com\/anexos\/TRSM-T5-0510-R1_173.pdf\">T5 Service manual<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Working on your T5<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"authors grid\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Upgrading To A Five-Speed Means Greater Car Control, Better Fuel Economy, And An Ear-To-Ear Grin Mark Houlahan Tech Editor, Mustang Monthly October 26, 2010 Photos By:\u00a0Cars, Inc.
