I have an 89 Mustang gt that i just bought with 156K on it.. It sounds so wonderful, however the previouse kid that had it was a loser and didn't take too good a care for it. I got it for 1600 and i speant about 200 on some tune up parts today and got everytihng runnin ok. PROBLEM! the t5 is no good. well it is but the synchropnizers r bad ( i think ) here is the deal. : i start out in first let it get to about 3 grand and shift to second GRRRRIINNDDD! after i let the revs down and i slow down.. it will fall in. then to third a little grind then in ok same thing with forth and fith is just dandy. HOWEVER! sometimes when i am riding around i will come out of forth to down shift it locks up and i have to wiggle it left to right to get the zynchronizer to finally catch any gear.

HELP! would it be better to find a rebuilt t5 or just get a new and stronger t5 from a catalog or what? i got about 2 grand to spend on it and i spend 2 hundred already... what now?
