Default WHAT TRANS SHOULD I GET?

Im going to need a new tranny soon. My t5 is slowly taking a $#!t. I need something strong but affordable. I was looking into a tremec but they r kinda costly

Should I do a rebuild with better parts? Some 1 link me to some decent rebuild kits. If i did a rebuild with the best rebuild kit.... how much would that cost and up to how much hp will it allow?

you cant rebuild a t-5 with upgraded parts, your other option is to buy a g-force tranny kit but ive heard those suck and there as much as a bran new t-5, id do another rebuild and refine your shifting style

MUNCIE trannys are popular with the Musclecar guys as well as the offroaders(they love the m22 rockcrushers)

My dad Has been running a Muncie M-21 4spd for years, and that thing gets the **** beaten out of it everytime we drive... no problems and it handles over 500ftlbs

you need to get a rebuild kit and a steel input shaft. I say the WC tranny is a good choice i have it in my car with about 400 hp and it works great
