I have an HD T5 that is very nice for sale in the classifieds.

What's wrong with your current trans?

with the power you are making... the T5 should have lasted you plenty long...

sounds to me like you just cant drive!




*reason* My T5 has held up to my 5k drops while out racing... and I have a 347 stroker making ALOT more than 280-300

Abuse is the killer of most of them for sure.

i cant drive? hmm, see the problem with that is i bought the car and i noticed the tranny was whining but i always heard they made a little noise. so i thought nothing of it. well as i drove it more it started getting worse. this is daily driving not ball to the wall driving... then i went to the strip 1 time and launched a 3k on street tires and it starts to whine..

i can drive very good... and i would love to match my driving to yours any day...

so what im saying is the girl that had it be for me couldn't drive. but i gotta fix her mistake.

Most people can't drive even when they think they can, and this is not directed at you per se 1quk50. I've just noticed in general that popping the clutch and driving all aggressively tends to make your average person feel like John Force or something, when they are probably just simply beating on the car.

So your trans is whining, have you even checked or changed the fluid level?

So tell me, exactly how does "knowing how to drive" save your T5? I'm curious since you seem to the be the expert.

well i think for starters you should elaborate on your problems a bit more, it could be something like a broken shifter fork and they are right abuse will def. break a t-5 but to me it seems like your situation you just got one that was on the fringes of that line and normal driving pushed it over.

I believe it has a larger diameter, sometime around 99-00 the provision for the driver gear went away on all transmissions, auto or T5. However, any 94-up V6 trans will work, and they are all "wold class" with the high alloy gearset.
