It's been slowly dieing but yesterday it started freezing up as it blew transmission fluid all over my exhaust and gave me some 007 fun :tongue3: Anyways, today my dad and I pulled it out and we're looking to do a rebuild on it. I've read a lot into it on the threads and everyone says either TKO500, 3550, T56, or Astro. I'd love to have one of these really good ones, but money is an issue as we're also replacing the clutch. I'm really not overly hard on it, no powershifting, ramming shifts or anything like that. I do run the car fairly spirited, but I don't drag race, soon to be autocrossing though. No poweradders, no H/C/I, just a stock daily driver that I want to handle well and shift decent. If I do just rebuild the stock t-5 is there anything between Astro and bone-stock? Any upgraded parts that I won't spend a fortune on? Anyways, thanks for whatever info you guys give me if any :book1: Oh, and here's a couple pictures haha.If anyone's thinking about removing these.. don't worry, they're light and easy to remove. I still have the fluid in it in this picture.<img src="http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz88/slykin/100_4328.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />How bad does this look? It doesn't feel too great, and slips under hard load in 3 etc.<img src="http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz88/slykin/100_4335.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The flywheel.. are those hotspots or something? The flywheel was kinda wavy feeling.<img src="http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz88/slykin/100_4339.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I'm guessing this is the pilot bearing? Also, is there a replaceable bearing retainer around it and should it be replaced if nicked?<img src="http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz88/slykin/100_4332.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Sorry for all the questions.</blockquote>
