Is it a bad idea to put a 4 cyl t5 in my 5.0?? Will i pretty much just eat it up or will it last for a lil while? I need a new 5sp but dont have a fortune to spend on a brand new one. Dont suppose anyone has one for sale? Also, are they a b!tch to rebuild or is it something i could do?

anyone??

new t-5 is about $1,100

think you can get them rebuilt for $500 or so.

check

As long as you don't power shift it from every stop light and dump the clutch all the time it should hold up until you can get a better tranny.

the I4 T5 is about as strong as a rubber band

It's as strong as the older T-5's (non-world class [pre 90 or 91?]) so it should hold up fine for awhile.

dont beat on it and it will last for a long time.
