T-5 Trans Gone Bad...

richd · 05-01-2003, 11:48 AM

What are the symptoms? Are you leaking fluid? Popping out of gear? Hard to get in gear? Which gears are a problem? Is your clutch disengaging?

Give us more details...

But if you were to just buy a new trans

T-5Z $1299
Clutch ~$100 for stocker, more for aftermarket
$170 for aluminum driveshaft, if your yoke is shot

You could substitute a tremec for the T-5Z, but add a few hunderd more. You may need a new bellhousing with that, though.

You could also rebuild your current trans, did mine last August. Cost me $700 in parts, but mine leaked fluid and needed the cluster replaced. Did the work myself, add $200 to have someone like Hanlon Motorsports do the work. You would still have to remove and replace it, though.

Check with hanlonmotorsports.com, they will pull yours apart and inspect it for about $200 and you can decide from there. If you go through with it with Hanlon you'll pay $200 + $170 for rebuild kit + whatever other parts are needed.

Good luck,

Rich D.
