I talked to my mechanic. He senses that I likely broke the shaft that 1st and 2nd gears share in the T-5 transmission, which is only rated to about 350 ft lb of torque.
We’re looking into a T-56.

OK, so now you're back to it won't drive/shift 1st/2nd gear? It is possible you broke the shift shaft and/or roll pin in the shifter. Guess the Stang is too heavy for your setup. I beat the crap out of my T5 in my Cobra for years but it was 1k# lighter, and now it's in a '65 Stang still goin' strong.I talked to my mechanic.

My comment was more the shift shaft rather than the mainshaft, but I doubt all that given mention of it all shifting fine the next day.Your mechanic is wrong . Every gear runs on the same shaft expect 4th gear the 1:1 gear . When you blow 3rd gear in a t5 or t45 you lose all gears usually except 4th
That should work out very nice!Yes, did all that! We’ve decided to upgrade to the Tremec TKX 5-speed transmission. We ordered an entire kit from Silver Sport Transmissions in TN, which includes the tranny, yoke, u-joint, bell housing, crossmember, etc so there’ll be no need to piece it together and shop for miscellaneous parts to get it all together. Same size and bolt up pattern, pinion angle, etc. This handles up to 600 hp and 7500rpm in our chosen wide range gear ratio:3.27, 1.98, 1.34, 1.00, 0.72
I'm sure your mechanic is aware, but just make sure you check the dimension between the fork-ball and flywheel as instructed with the CF kit, now that you're installing new parts.Yes, did all that!

Stock pivot ball depth is what you want with a tkx I know from experience and had to pull my trans back outI'm sure your mechanic is aware, but just make sure you check the dimension between the fork-ball and flywheel as instructed with the CF kit, now that you're installing new parts.
Actually, a little sticky/ratchety, but I’m attributing it to its newness and suspect it’ll smoothen outCongratulations on getting it back! How does the new trans feel in comparison to the old one?
