Astro Performace
In my quest for the perfect T5 I have come across a company called Astro Performance. They make improved gears for T5 to up the strength to 400-450hp capable, maybe more depending upon the kit you buy. Fully rebuild trannies can be had for $1200 or so.
Anyone heard of Astro?

RE: Astro Performace
yeah, ive come across them, as for their quality, i havnt found any one able to vouch for em, but their prices are very low. 35 bucks or so for new synchro and such. those are 80 every where else i looked. im a little sceptical till I hear from people who have used em.
i also came across gearbox, which i did by some stuff from, but gota say their customer service was kinda lacking

"Warranty:
There is a 90 Day "Limited" Warranty on this Rebuilt Transmission. The Warranty covers the "Craftsmanship" of the Unit. The Warranty covers the following items:
1.) Leaks due to improper "Sealing".
2.) Shifting Problems not associated to "Improper Clutch Adjustment/Disengagement.
3.) Vibration(s) not associated with "Improper" Bellhousing Alignment or "Faulty" Rear.
The 90 Day "Warranty" does not cover the following:
1.) If the Transmission is run low or out of Fluid. This includes if the customer does not put Transmission Fluid in Transmission before Driving.
2.) Abuse. Each Rebuilt Transmission has a Torque Rating. This Torque Rating needs to be one of the most important "factors" in making a Manual Transmission Decision. There is not a Gear Company in the World that "Warranties" Broken/Damaged Gears! 3.) R&R. This is the Removal and/or Installation of Transmission. Astro Performance does not cover nor pay for any Labor Charges incurred.
4.) Synchronizer Failure due to Clutch not being properly Adjusted.
5.) Freight. If there is an issue it is the customer's responsibility to return the Core at their own shipping expense."
