Hey guys Blew up another T5
Hey guys once again i have transmission troubles, cruisin home on the parkway comin out of the toll the other night 1 2 3 boom anyways 3rd gears totally gone and now its a rattle box, i got another core sittin in my garage so i wanna get that one rebuilt, should i do it myself? or does anyone know a reputable rebuilder in NJ? cause i cant find one and i have had no luck with the ones i have found so far, ive done everything else on the car besides rebuild a trans or the inner working of the motor, but im starting to think my work is better than anyones around here atleast with transmissions

The T5 was only rated up to about 265 lb/ft of torque in it's best OE form. The T5z from ford motorsport was rated 330 lb/ft, but costs a fortune. Upgrading with the gear set detailed in that article is the best way to spend your money.
Beat on it long enough and any metal will fail. It doesn't have to be an *** whooping, just keep at it long enough. Buying used or rebuilding a tired transmission is just buying time.
