I'm fine, just bent out of shape that I have to spend the money. I knew it would happen eventually, I've had the tranny out of the car twice this year fixing the 5th gear.
It didn't really blow all over I-5, well it did but it stayed in the gear box. sounds like a bunch of metal parts grinding around in there, kicked my hand off the shifter so hard I'm lucky it didn't break it. I drove it home in 2nd for about 5 miles.
In my opinion, any T-5 would just be a band aid... g-force or not. They were just not designed for much more that 300hp/tq, even though companies are beefing them up I'd rather just start with something stronger.
Just kinda bummed, I've had my car up on blocks for the last 2 months kinda shooting for this saturday event. I've got a whole heads/cam/intake set up on the bench, maybe I'll throw that stuff on in the mean time.
Have fun saturday guys-
