That transmission was used from 1974-1986. The Pintos and Bobcats got the transmission also with a different tailshaft. Gear ratios are the following (This is direct Ford information from a 1980 Shop Manual I have):

1st 3.98:1
2nd 2.14:1
3rd 1.42:1
4th 1:1
Rev: 3.99:1

From what I have been told from people that have driven the T5 5 speed and the ET, most people prefer the ET's ratios and smoothness.
