How bad is the arm you have broken? could it be welded or used and a template for someone to fab you one up?

Also i am not 100% sure, but the mustang and a few other cars stateside use the T5 box as well. the part i am unsure about is the bell housing differnces, but the boxes are defo t5's. so it might be worth looking to see if one from another model will work.


a quick look on ebay showed up this:

The mustang uses a different clutch and arm and the Thunderbird is hydraulic. There is so many car out there that use the T5 borg warner box but nothing as yet that will fit. But I am on the case and I dont get beat My clutch arm is toast The old owner must have had a big clutch or fly wheel issue at some point and the clutch fork took the brunt of the mess in there . Thanks guys I will post the information when I have it and I will have it as I know what FORD are like It is off another FORD I bet my LIFE on it.

Phone up TVR/breakers ? they use the same arm I'm sure on some of thiers, also try a type 9 part, just a guess might fit, there are over 264 versions of T5, used by ford/chevy plus loads of others, although a borg warner design the T stand for Tremec now who have the rights to make this box.
