NOS_Notch, you made some good points and if my AOD blew up I would put a 5-speed in, but you are a little off in the ratio department.

Not about the numbers, but about comparing apples to oranges. The T-5's 3.35 ratio may seem better than the AOD's 2.40, however a torque converter in an automatic tranny not only transmits power, but also multiplies the amount of torque, whereas a manual tranny does not, so the gear ratio comparison is a little misleading.
