I've got a Tremec 3550 in my coupe and love it. And, it's not much more $$ than a new T-5. You can have one to your door for like $1150 from D&D.

It's a fairly straight-forward install, just remember that you'll probably need a different speedo gear than what was in your T-5 as the Tremecs have a different number of teeth on the speedo drive gear than do the T-5s. D&D has a chart on their website to help figure it out.

I also opted for a new clutch and aluminum flywheel setup when I did mine as well as an SFI approved McCleod steel bellhousing.

Good luck,
E
