Help me with this creepy tanny noise!

SlowStang2 · 11-21-2001, 11:14 PM

It has a grind that I can feel (not hear) on the way into 3rd or 5th. It can be felt more during high speeds. Also, I was at moroso 2nite when I discovered not only this, but it was rather hard to get the shifter out of 4th. I needed to use more than needed strength just to pull it out. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?? Please dont tell me my trannys screwed..

hmm, mine t-5 is new, rebuit, and i seem to feel kinda a notchy feel into 3rd, but dont hear nothing, cant figure it out, sorry i cant help you, unless your hearing clanking, and clicking noises, in which then i know its about to grenade

but it might be a synchro.

SYNCHROS!!!!

Welcome to the club! I've put 4 or 5 T-5's in my car in 3 years!

2FastLX · 11-22-2001, 10:17 AM

I'd not worry too much about a pile of crap T-5. I've been through a couple of them. They are junk. If you rebuild it you'll be wasting your money because they can't handle hopped up 5.0's.

SlowStang2 · 11-22-2001, 02:26 PM

How expensive is it to replace synchros? I am not making that much power, so I can't see how this is happening.

Coupe5oh · 11-22-2001, 04:00 PM

with core exchange, i paid 575 for a rebuilt used one, it has been good so far, but yes they are junk, my car isnt even hopped up really, and mine blew when i was driving normal, although the track runs took their toll on the poor thing after about 100 runs, and burnouts.

SlowStang2 · 11-26-2001, 12:25 AM

Well 2nite i almost couldnt get it out of 4th. This does not bode well for a continued possesion of my stang.

NewAge 5.0 · 11-26-2001, 02:13 AM

people trash talk alot of T5's but they take a helluva beating. i know T5's that have gone 10's all night long and then gotten drove home an HOUR away.. so all t5's are not JUNK its Driver error the T5 in my car has been 11.70@122mph and it shifts good to me, and it was 300 rebuilt!! if you wouldnt lay black marks and SNATCH the poor things they will last forever behind any street stang on the road today!! SHIFT DONT SNATCH!! now i have made my peice!

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.

synchro's are toast and shift fork is probably bent. Rebuild time
