Default t-5 question

how much does it cost to get the t-5 rebuilt. average price? next question is what hp/tq ratings is the stock t-5 rated at. im thinking about maybe getting a hd t-5. unless i can rebuild the stock t-5 to like a hd or something?

trans t-5 rebuild going to run you luike 600-1000 for a complete rebuild.....Oh and it not worth rebuild the stock t-5 trans, cause when you modd it will break, take my word for it I have broken 8 stock t-5's, with my mod and agrassive street driving...just save for tko, tremec, or the ultimate g-force trans or g-for rebuild kit, good for 600hp...very good trans...

www.astroperformance.com

they list hp and torque ratings with their different T-5's

they'll handle anywhere for 300hp and 300 trq up to 600hp and 500 trq
depending on what gear set you rebuild them with.

cost $750-$2,000 for rebuilt exchange.

you want the super alloy or high alloy rebuild.

either will handle 330 trq and 400 to 450hp respectively.

astroperformance has both rebuilt transmissions and just the gears for sale.
surf thru their site.
