Ok so bought this car about a year ago and second is griding once in a while.
I think I want to replace/rebuild the tranny. The car was on a dyno putting down 290rwhp.

Should I
rebuild the T5 thats in it?
Will a tremec fit? if so what else would I have to change?
Is there a good after market I should look at?

I don't want to brake the bank on this, just want a good solid tranny for the street.

thanks

A t5 is plenty strong if you know how to properly shift it while driving spiritedly. one of the mods here runs 11s on a s/c 5.0 with a factory t5 and just recently put a clutch in after 130k miles i think, a crazy high milage for a stock clutch.

what do you think I should be paying a local shop to rebuild and reinstall a T5?
I see you can buy a new on on Jegs for $1200

A qualified tranny shop shouldn't charge more than 300+rebuild kit I wouldn't think.... t5s are all over the place and pretty simple pieces.

Thanks
Like the saleen wheels by the way.

Thanks, they are the Saleen SC rims, not true Saleens, but better looking IMO.

well the $1200 one is an upgraded one its a T-5Z and has upgraded synchros and other goodies and handles about 65 ft/ib's more torque and has a steel bearing retainer. The gearing is a little different first gear is 2.95 instead of 3.35 so you get about 5 mph more out of first. 5th gear is different as well so you tach less on the highway I love mine

Does it bolt rightr up? Or do I have to get a new cross member and drive shaft?
