I am having trouble finding out any info on the Australian T5. Only thing I found Australian on a 3rd gen were the 9bolt rears. From searching on google and 3rdgen.org the only 2 stock t5's that came on a 3rd gen were a borg warner t5 which was rated to 280 ftlbs of tq and a borg warner world class t5 which is what you probaly have and is only rated to 300 ftlbs of tq. Thats the reason a stock L98 couldnt be mated to a 5speed. The L98 made 340 ftlbs of tq.

Most of the WS6 cars ie GTA's got the Australian 9bolts and a World Class T5 if it were a 305.
