88TC 5 speed question June 01, 2012, 01:54:41 PM A buddy of mine has an 88TC 5 speed car that needs a couple of transmission parts to get her going again. He's looking for the clutch fork and retainer spring. What other t5's are hydraulic besides the 87-88 TC's? He's having a hell of a time finding the parts. Took the car off the road and redid the motor and rest of the trans about 2 years ago an has been searhing ever since. I've even put up a thread in the wanted section here for him.What about a mid '90's Ford Ranger or something similar? Would the setup from that work? Quote Selected
