Tranny problem or not???
My '92 Mustang 5 speed only has fourth gear. It has tranny fluid. The throwout bearing was making noise before the tranny shut down. I was told if it had tranny fluid, it wasn't the tranny. I know nothing about trannies so any advice would be helpful.

if 4th gear positively engages, yes you have issues
a t5 will still shift with NO fluid in it...because it's "manual" it doesnt require any pressure to make a shift
it may be something simple but will still require a full teardown, so you might as well do a good rebuild with a kit from d&d

While I take it you have not watched a video on rebuilding it, I find people like a video made by Hanlon Motorsports when I googled it. I personally would get a video if I had to rebuild my T-5, a manual is great to me, but to see someone pop it open always helps. I would guess that a company would not put a video out unless it was close to 100% accurate, maybe you can't watch good?

Rebuilding a t5 is tough, but do your research and stay clean and organised while doing the rebuild and you'll be ok. I'm sure there are many videos on youtube and such of people going through a rebuild of a t5. Watch as many as you can and just absorb as much information as you can before you attempt it yourself.

I didn't say they explain it good or anything like that, believe me I know all about people that are good at something and can not explain it for a darn. I was getting more to the point that a video would be helpful instead of just opening the transmission up and not knowing what anything is.
