You know...My buddy races NMRA Factory Stock. When he first got into it, his spare trans was in his daily driver. It got to the point where he could have it out in 15 minutes and throw it in the trailer before they went to a race. (Broke *** racing FTW!!)

A TKO is overkill at this point. The only reason that T5 broke is because someone didn't put it together right. It's not a race car. Sounds like he's concerned about the money situation at the moment anyway.
Besides, I've ragged on T5's harder than a lot of you youngins can imagine and never broke one. Unless that car is spending a ton of time at the strip, a TKO is just pissing money away.

How did that happen? Clearly, even if it was a ****ty trans from the factory, 6 of them in 6 months? There had to be something else wrong there.

I'm kinda happy to hear that, sidewayz.
So with my AFR 165 heads, Steeda #19 cam and 1.7rr, and a KB at around 8psi, how long do you expect my T5 w/ 61k miles to last? And when it breaks, should i upgrade to a TKO? My 3rd gear already grinds more than half the time shifting into 3rd under heavy accel.
