[QUOTE="24hrlemons, post: 726140, member: 11363"] In two of last three races our mustang has broken its 5 speed. We had the transmission repaired by a local shop who has been in business many years when 2nd gear went out, he repaired the problem and made some upgrades, but not enough however, as two road races later 3rd gear went out in a noisy banging sort of way. Very ugly noises. We are only running a stock v6! its a endurance racing thing. I can get another T5 on ebay, but with those pressed on gear collars or whatever they're called, I think we'd break again. I don't think the roller vs tapered bearings are making a difference (as per mech that is one diff between v8 and v6t versions) but the gears mech. is weak on these v6 transmissions. What should look for in a rebuilt T5? [/QUOTE]
