well, there goes my first T5
 

blew up the T5 in the mustang today. i was mad because someone keyed/scratched the quarterpanel on it, so as i was driving it home from work i kinda got on it a bit...powershifted 2nd, no problem...hit 3rd...boom, grind grind grind. luckily, i still had 4th gear since its a direct drive, so i managed to make it to the trans shop in 4th. now the hunt begins for something better

:clap: congrats

that sucks what are you going to drive till your car gets fixed

He has a white saturn sc2? beater

Well i hope this shows the people who want to T5 swap their F-bodies that its not a very good choice!

repost!


oh, wait. that was me.

:lol: welcome to the club matt. good job.

:lol: i wonder who that was to

t56 time?

time for a TKO

still bolt on or did you install that pile of mods?

TKO or Z code T5

My t5 is alost gone in my 4cyl notch if that makes you feel any better..........reverse is horrible and not to mention the clutch and throw out bearing are gone to haha

if you consider stock exhaust with flowmaster mufflers and a K&N cone filter on the stock intake tube bolt ons, then yes....if not....then its just stock :lol: pretty sad actually

and melissa....didnt you only lose 3rd? i lost all my gears except for 4th since its direct drive

edit: a guy on a local mustang forum has a T5 Z-spec like i had in my blue mustang, fresh rebuild 0 miles...$925 firm. i might pick that up unless i can find a deal on a TKO or a Gforce...the T5Z i got for my 87 was also a fresh rebuild, and i got it for $400...wish i could find a deal like that again

yeah, I only lost 3rd, but the story is still pretty similar :lol:

sucks

good luck finding a deal on a Gforce :rofl:

lol that sucks dude. those t5's are crappola. they can't handle power or torque for ****. hell i don't think it could handle an integra type r's whopping 135 ft lbs of torque forget a v8's power and torque. i say get the tko.

I didn't have any problems with the T5 that was in my old IROC. must be my superior driving skills ;)

you mean driving like the old man that you are? :-P

there was a guy selling a brand new one for $1850 shipped, but he lives in long island so i PMed him asking if i could come pick it up for a bit cheaper...sadly, he had just taken payment on it a couple hours before i PMed him.

oh snap........i just got served..........by a string bean wannabe.

so I guess I have a freak in my Firebird with 540 ft/lb of torque and 420hp at the rear wheels??

Also, fastest car with a T5 is in the 8's

TKO are great but cost alot.... why not World Class T5???

because a WC T5 is what i just blew up :lol:

i found a Z-spec T5 for $925, 0 miles since rebuilt...i think im gonna pick that up. Guy lives like 30 mins from me too.

call me I can help you. Or send me a pm Thanks Bob
