T5s are kinda funny. I've seen some get beat on all the time (not alot of missed shifts, just hard power shifts) and keep ticking. Others seem to pop if you just look at them wrong.

kinda close to the end. the third gear is the failure gear in the t-5's. and so is 4th grae. the chances of you breaking 1st or 2nd gear is really slim.
