Tony Frank · 10-29-2002, 10:03 PM

I know that the stock T-5 in my 85 is weak but how long would it last if i put a set of drag radials on it and take it to the track every once in a while

im thinking i would kill it if i put on slicks

but just wondering if it would hold with dr's

i really dont want to put money into a new trans, if it wont last long i might as well just sell it to get some money out of it and get a new one.

like i said nothing too serious with racing just a little.

BTW its only got 15,000 original miles on it. and my mods are listed below
