I agree, I broke my T-5 because i power shifted into third gear on the bottle all the time. After 6 months, yes 6 months it finally tore off the teeth on the third gear. It was my fault for the thing breaking. Now i shift it and not full throttle it and it has lasted a year with constant 11.60, 11.70 passes at 120 to 123 mph. Dont get me wrong if a T-5 isnt built right it wont last at all. I like my T-5 but i would rather have a Tremec.

Then there wouldnt be any worrys about the tranny.
