hum, I guess ill give to a shop. Should I order anything else besides rebuild? I was looking at newer 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears. They said something about handling torque better. Is this something I should look into or what? its an 89.

if you plan on having over 350hp.....i was told the world class geasr would be a good idea. but anything under that and u should be fine. o yea, and i just shopped around for a rebuild for like the last month and www.ddperformance.com definetly has the best deal. thank coupe for that one.

My bad, I did not think of bobily injurys by holding it in gear. Dont buy the hardenrd gears, I did and they lasted me a week($350 down the drain) the harder they are the more bridle they are.

My 89 GT popped out of reverse when I bought it...The whole tranny blew 3 months later, lol.

ight, now i have another prob. Judging from what he has done to it the car has atleast 300hp. What i have been reading says the t-5 is only good for about 300hp. Now i plan on adding more hp so now what do i have to do to tranny? Could i just get new gears or would i have to get all new stuff aka new tranny? thanks

well hell, if thats the case you could just run the trans it has in it, and try to avoid having to use reverse, and then upgrade to a better trans asap... or just another t5.... there not as weak as you think...

the "stronger gears" aren't actualy stronger they are britle as hell... and a world class t-5 (86 +) will take about 350hp with a good driver... i personaly seen a t-5 hold on a 11 sec. DD (my manual tranny teacher) the guyCAN drive


and no problem pizza just lookin out for the fellow stangers

pros car is a low 12 sec car on a stock t5

Well if you guys say it will last, then by God it better. lol. I guess ill just have to get the rebuild kit and ill see where it goes from there. I also found out today the car isnt inspected, i dont think its that big of a deal, but my parents do. Im going to test drive it tomorrow ( im not personaly driving my friend is, he had a gt so he'll be able to feel whats right and wrong). But ill see how that goes andtry totalk the guy down to maybe $2,500.

Have your friend take it to an inspection place and see what they say....if it hasn't been inspected, there may be a reason.....
