I broke 2 T5s in a 84Z with a 355 CI motor. The first time it broke I had 2-3 shift at WOT and it broke ( I heard is the common failure), third gear / shaft is weak? I traded it for a rebuilt and a year later i Killed it. Not sure what broke I was driving home from AC adn it locked in 4th gear. When the shop pulled it apart they said parts looked melted?.

You can check with a company G-force trans. They sell both the peices, or entire T5 that can handle 600HP.
