I realy dont get the bad rep the T5 gets I understand if you put a bunch of power to it it will genade but if you are a little nice to it it will hold up well I have 95k on mine &amp; it has no issues</P>

Anyone know how much or can point me in the direction to find out how much a new T-5 and a new tko would cost? Also, my 4th gear sometimes grindes when the engin is cold enough, is that a sign of a trans. going bad?

i'm still on my first. it has almost 200,000 on it. 1st synchro is just starting to go bad. plus the thing got full of water one night when i was coming home and ran into like 3 feet of water and my car got flooded. the only other problem i had is the speedo gear breaking (it froze because of the water and snapped) i dump it at 4000 regularly too. at least every other day. i also dont see what the problem with them is. i have 3 extra ones just incase something happens....but this one seems to be just fine, and from an 84.
