I currently have a t-5 in my 89 lx coupe 5.0 but i was wondering when it fails me what should i replace it with......key things: i dont really race it too much, every day driver, would like to have performance if it called, and would want something within reality of some sort of budget.

well I just put my tko in cost me 2300$ for everything, overkill? ya but it'll never break! my vote goes to the tko!

ive heard alot about them but since i know absolutly nothing about trannys what are the gears like and also how drivable is it. i drove a mustang awhile back and it had a tranny in it and the gears werent to "driver" friendly unless you hit the power band. i have no clue what he had

well I have about 3 miles on it now and its very drivable even with not being broken in yet

what power level do you plan to run??? the t-5 with a good driverwill hold more than you think

T5Z... low cost, easy to rebuild... light... and great for power handling... reported to handle 450hp

well my motor is stock with some bolt ons so were not tlking serious hp ere but one question before i knock the t-5........is it the clutch, shifter, tranny that makes a shift difficult as in pressure i have to apply to get it to go into gear? and ive tried to street it once and my shifts werent too amazing it was almost like my car was saying hell no buddy ha

you can keep buyin t-5's or just buy one tko... choice is yours!

ill never buy a TKO... they shift like crap... its too notchy for me

change the fluid and get some synthetic, and get a short throw shifter...adjust the clutch, if that doesn't fix it then your syncos may be starting to go... in which case if you can do with out the car for 2 weeks and are able to pull the tranny i offer CHEAP rebuilds for the T-5 and the veriations of the T-5 ie, T-5Z T45...

feel free to pm me for more info i won't be back for about 5 hours tho..... damn night classes
