1965–1966 Mustang T5 Transmission Crossmember Bar with E-Brake Bracket — TRA-656-522

Upgrade your classic 1965–1966 Mustang with confidence using California Pony Cars' heavy-duty T5 5-Speed Transmission Crossmember Bar, featuring an integrated parking brake bracket. Whether you're swapping in a World Class T5 or the newer TREMEC T5 (1352-000-251), this is the most trusted crossmember solution for a clean, secure installation — no cutting required.

Made in the USA from high-strength .090 wall tubular steel and welded for precision, this crossmember doubles as a subframe stiffener, improving structural rigidity and reducing engine torque flex. It’s a must-have component for T5 transmission conversions and everyday performance driving.

 Beware of low quality imported copies  made with thin steel and poor welds — our crossmembers are CNC-bent, fixture-welded, and powder-coated for strength, fitment, and durability.


    Key Features:

  • Direct-fit for 1965–1966 Ford Mustang with T5 transmission

  • Fits World Class BorgWarner T5 and TREMEC 1352-000-251 T5

  • Retains OEM parking brake setup

  • Heavy-duty .090" wall tubular steel construction

  • CNC bent and fixture welded for precision

  • E-brake bracket included

  • Powder coated in semi-gloss black

  • Mounts to OEM frame rails – no cutting required

  • Reinforces subframe – reduces chassis flex

  • Lifetime Warranty

  • Proudly Made in the USA by California Pony Cars


    Installation Notes:

  • Bolt-on design using factory mounting locations

  • May require slight elongation of holes in U-brackets due to frame aging/tweaks

  • Recommended transmission:

    • 1983–1993 World Class T5

    • TREMEC T5 P/N 1352-000-251

    Note: 1994-up T5s have longer input shafts that require modification.

Does not fit

I finally got around to putting this crossmember in after it sitting on a shelf for a couple years. My transmission (t5) out of an 88 foxbody is wedged so tight against the transmission hump this crossmember is not a correct fit for 1966 with a t5.

Hi Ryan,
Thank you for your feedback. We’ve attempted to contact you via email to address your concerns but haven’t received a response. It appears you may have purchased the crossmember through one of our dealers, as there is no record of your transaction in our database. We have not encountered fitment issues with our crossmembers, so it’s possible you may have received the wrong year crossmember. We sell T5 & AOD crossmembers for 1965-66 and 1967-73 models, each with specific shapes and dimensions. Please contact us at 909-923-2357 or email us at sales@calponycars.com for further assistance. We are here to help ensure you get the correct part for your vehicle.
