Richmond R504082A RGI-5 Transmission, Ford, Dual Position.82

An internal-rail 5-speed manual built for Ford applications, the Richmond R504082A RGI-5 runs a 0.82 overdrive fifth gear below a first-gear ratio of 2.87:1, with a torque rating of 600 lb-ft. A compact aluminum case keeps transmission tunnel clearance generous, while a short-throw shifter machined from billet aluminum offers three mounting locations across five possible shifter positions.

Why dual-position shifting matters for a swap

Because floor pan layouts vary across the Ford platforms this transmission fits, having five possible shifter positions across three mounting locations makes it easier to clear exhaust and chassis obstructions without custom fabrication. Heavy-duty steel shift forks and an internal three-rail design back up that flexibility, and the dual-position mounting is a large part of what separates this gearbox from a fixed-shifter alternative.

Speedometer and fitment

Both mechanical and electronic speedometer outputs are built in, so this transmission works with either a cable-driven or electronic speedometer setup. The input shaft measures 1.125 inches in diameter with a 26-spline count and a 7.21-inch length, and the output shaft is 1.389 inches in diameter with 31 splines; a bellhousing and yoke are not included.

What warranty applies? This transmission carries a 1-year, 50,000-mile warranty against defects in material or workmanship, provided installation is done correctly.
