keepd you from bending the shift forks inside the tranny which is one of the leading causes of t5 transmission failure
GUILTY! Did this on my 90' GT. Had to change upper/lower shift forks and 3rd gear. Sucks cause 2 owners from me the 3rd gear still never broke in and whines like a supercharger in 3rd. LOL.

Interesting. Wonder how that's possible since the t-5's have internal stops.
