Yea most of us might remember my current post "t-5 experts help!" but i came to the conclusion, i just need a more sturdy trans, im putting aside a tremmec fund now, my 1st gear is sounding whiney after a bad wheel hop at the track, my first t-5 sounded awful days before it broke, the 3rd gr cluster made a clicking noise before it went CCCCLAANK CAHHBOOOM! and i was just leaving a store driving easy, fact is, t-5's are good tranny's but they will wear out, racing just speeds up the process.

I just installed heads and cam, the power gains of that overpower the t-5, with sticky tires im just going to let it go gracefully with a 5k launch next week, who knows it might make it a couple more track trips......btw, i had my 1st one rebuilt for 575$ also had a core exchange, check the paper and you might find someone that does the rebuilds cheap.
