have a friend with a t-5 in a 5.0, says it got stuck in 3rd when comming up to a traffic light' havent seen it or heard it yet so this is all i know

anyone know what the problem is and how much is it going to cost to fix it, will it eed to be rebuilt?

 

please?

 

broken shift fork is my guess

 

am i gonna have to rebuild the whole thing or can a trans shop do just that


and if that broke should i just rebuild it, would the shift fork breaking damage anything else

sorry i know hardly anything bout trans.

 

might if i was you i would rebuild it i mean yes its just s shift fork but its so east and cheap to rebuild it while its out why the hell not. I wish some of the other guys on here would reply to this i mean im still kinda new to the mustang thing myself man lol

 

You need a rebuild, mine got stuck in 4th before, had to drive 160 miles like that, taking off in 4th

 

okay, i whats the average pricing on a t-5 rebuild, i know the kits are 150-200 ish but whats a shop gonna charge on average

 

ok 1st off, look...

its not nesacerally a broken fork... it could be numerous things, and honestly you wont know for sure untill you, or some one takes it apart. it could be... bent input shaft, ****ed up bearings(specifically, btwn the input and main shaft, unlikly though), simply something broken and stuck in the way of the shift rod/fork(s). or yes a bent/broken fork/or rod...

teh kit to do it yourself is about 200 bucks, however, it has no hard parts in it... those will be extra... where do you live? i have alot of the hard parts sitting here at my house... except 2nd, 3rd and a countershaft...

a shop is going to charge you approx. 1100...then if there are more hard parts you need, well... up goes the price

a used t5 can be found for 2-400 bucks... ddperformance sells a rebuild for 1k, so does astro... but imo their pieces of ****.. i can show you pics of the one i grenaded
