You cant be spinning all that much to have a 98mph trapspeed. Post the whole slip. No one can tell crap unless you have the whole thing.
Sometimes you dont have the option of going arround the water box
....t5s have a bad reputation for good reason, not just because of idiots. If its reputation was based only on idiots not babying it, its still not a very good trans.
why would u even go through the water with your street tires thats stupid spinning your street tires will do nothing but make them spin worse!!!!!
its hard to believe all of the idiots that do that obviously your one of them
next if you did go through the water and why would u spin them in 2nd gear why not just use 1st its alot stronger gear there is no need to do that
its because of people like you that give t5's a bad reputation

IDK why all you guys are bitching saying how bad it is to do a burnout in second gear.....anyone on here that runs a T5 with DR's or slicks will tell ya you have to use second gear on a burn out. If they were that bad, I am sure I would have broke mine years ago. But, you still shouldn't burn street tires at the track, only on the road so you will look cool

I always use 2nd..several reasons why
fiber lined steel snycos aren't too much better in the later years
the 93 W/C trans was a decent t-5 with the 2.95 1st gear and the needle bearings they shift so smooth due to the phosphate coated gears

my second gear wont let me powershift into it, so i believe the syncro is going bad or is gone. oh yeah my car wont hold reverse.
i think the tranny would be a decent tranny if the person before me had taken care of it.
it is damaged so i am adding to the bad reputation by shifting it till it breaks!!!!!!!!!!

keep telling yourself that everyone on here except you knows its a waste
thats why you have a best of 2.04 60'
i cut a 1.90 2 weeks ago on stock tires and i know i could have done better with more time
im on the long list of guys that have never broke a t5 as well and i race every car i get its all in the way you treat it
