The moment this video ends.... So did my T5 Transmission haaha


SBC 327 with a factory rebuild.

Re: And bang....
 

Ouch..

Re: And bang....
 

Yeah.... well I never really thought the T5 would stay together.. but I also didn't think it would happen this quick. I may have 500 miles on it. The trans was used but everything seemed ok. Swapped the Input shaft for a 10 spline (professional).

Time for a Tremec TKO 600

Re: And bang....
 

Yeah, sorry. Spent enough time with the T5 so I'm not surprised. T56 an option?

Not really, I think the shifter placement would be too hard to overcome.

That is a tough one. There are options: https://core-shifters.com/products/c...ard-relocation

If you can get the parts the shifter ends up about 14" from the bellhousing. Here's a nice writeup.

It's too bad there never really was a killer five speed car transmission supplied by OEM.

Well the T5 behind the mustang was a bit better, anyway I think for the cost associated with getting the shifter of a t56 in the right spot I'd be at the same price for a brand new TKO. Only thing is I would have the cool 6th gear.

Or just jump on up to a 6060..

Re: And bang....
 

Same diff. But it will cost me $500 more.

Re: And bang....
 

That is a weaker version of the T5 you had and its the powershifting that killed it. Treat it nice and it will last. Easy to rebuild so give it another go.

Re: And bang....
 

Problem is, why rebuild it when I run the chance of another failure? Honestly I know how I drive and what I'm going to do with it haha. It makes more sense financially to just go ahead and swap to a trans that's much less likely to fail with my driving habits.

Re: And bang....
 

when you get tired of tripping over the T-5 send it north to me for parts!

You and I have a different definition of powershifting.

Lo1dakota, thanks for the ride, sounded pretty good!
