I need everyones opinions on transmission. I want to get a reasonable priced transmission. The one that i am replacing is the stock t-5 borg warner. Im looking more towards a world class tremec t-5.....

They are the same transmission. Tremec bought the T5 line of tranny's from Borg Warner in 1997.

Tremec did make some upgrades to the T5, you can Google those if you want, but basically the same transmission.

Just get a good rebuild kit for your stock one. Unless you're planning on doing some more serious mods on your engine your t5 will be fine.

I think the World Class has upgraded syncros and bearings to handle a little more power.

The world class t5 was the factory 5.0 t5 from 85. His is already world class.
