First look: 2011 5.0L Clutch Assembly & Shifter

[carbd86gt]

The new 6 speed is actually shorter, but I haven't measured it to confirm that, but just eying it looks to be about 9" or so shorter. Here is a picture for reference, the McLeod box is 16" long, so I don't think a 05-2010 D/S will work, but we are going to try to test fit one to confirm also...

Wow that is a VERY compact transmission compared to the 05-10 5 speed or the 6060 6 speed.

i don't know if anybody has asked this question before but for the looks do you think the transmision could handle a lot of HP and torque?

It's rated for 375 lb/ft, FWIW.

Right, rated for 375 lb/ft and the motor makes 390 lb/ft....I find that quite curious (that the trans has a lower torque rating than the motor actually makes).

Kind of like the camaro, trans rated at 430ft-lbs per GM documentation...

"The new MT82 manual is designed by Fords JFT joint venture with Getrag in Germany and built in a four-way joint venture plant in China."
