Last drive of the year - boom! T-5 salad!

you decided on the engine combo yet?

im almost 100% sure i wanna go with an Si-trim, but if my mechanical roller dart 347 makes over 500rwhp n/a then i may just stay n/a (still saying a more reasonable 440rwhp) then i'll probably smash the boost to 18psi or so and run it to the 750+ mark

That's because all the powershifting with extra weight of the kids and groceries killed it

I've got another T-5 patiently waiting on my operating table. Hopefully I can save it.

all T-5's are a lost cause, go tko-600

Yeah, but they are small, light, and I can rebuild them with my eyes closed.


I'd rather go G-force in a T-5 rather than a 3550-based trans. I just light the compact, light design and servicability of the T-5 over it.

come over and rebuild mine, its making some funny noises, actually **** that im going T-56

Ship it here when you take it out! lol

**** you can have the ****er when my t-56 goes in

At least in wasn't the first day of spring!

95% of the time 3rd gear is what breaks in a t5. You clearly broke 3rd gear. Soooo, you attempt to get it back into 3rd, succeed, and then drive it home in 3rd...

Oh, have fun with the girlomatic. An auto is only faster than a bad driver.

And they shift like butter. I rebuilt mine with an APW gearset at least 10k miles ago I believe, maybe closer to 15. It's seen more powershifts than I can even imagine, several a day, and it loves every minute of it.

That maybe but trust me I broke more than third gear. I no longer have any gear including reverse and really didn't give a crap about the T-5, just didn't want to be stranded on the highway. I can't even move the shifter around, it sounds like a metal meat grinder!

And it maybe a girlomatic but if it makes me faster I couldn't care less. I don't baby my car and I drove the living #%@ out of it, rowing through the gears like I was trying to rip the shifter off it's base.

And...an auto isn't only faster than a bad driver. It's more consistent.

Welcome to the club. Blew out my stock T5 last summer. Swapped in a new T5z only because I couldn't come up w/ the $$ for the T56. But I will when the z grenades.

ive got a screwd t45 if ya want to revive that one too...

just curious, have you ever done one and how hard are they over a t5?

i have never done a t45 before. i have looked over the service manual and it looks a little more involved than a t5. I dnot own a car that uses a t45 so never had the need to learn or give it a shot
