You are looking at at least $1000 for the job, even if you get a good rebuilt tranny. I would go with a prof rebuilt trans they go for about $800. A good rebuilt trans can be stronger than a new T-5Z, if it's done by a specialist. Anyone can replace the broken parts, but thats not really rebuilding.
The T-5 trans needs some modifications and strengthening to be reliable. Lots of guys end up breaking the new T-5Z trans. Remember it's still a mass produced trans, subject to the same design limitations of a regular T-5. The Z does have the improved imput shaft bearing retainer, and the 2.95 first gear, so that is a good step forwards. IMHO it's too much work to use a used trans, you are likley to not have it last very long.
