Re: And bang....
Yeah.... well I never really thought the T5 would stay together.. but I also didn't think it would happen this quick. I may have 500 miles on it. The trans was used but everything seemed ok. Swapped the Input shaft for a 10 spline (professional).
Time for a Tremec TKO 600 |

Re: And bang....
Yeah, sorry. Spent enough time with the T5 so I'm not surprised. T56 an option?

If you can get the parts the shifter ends up about 14" from the bellhousing. Here's a nice writeup. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=300892 It's too bad there never really was a killer five speed car transmission supplied by OEM. Last edited by 1project2many; 07-12-2017 at 07:40 AM. |

Same diff. But it will cost me $500 more.

Re: And bang....
That is a weaker version of the T5 you had and its the powershifting that killed it. Treat it nice and it will last. Easy to rebuild so give it another go.

Re: And bang....
Problem is, why rebuild it when I run the chance of another failure? Honestly I know how I drive and what I'm going to do with it haha. It makes more sense financially to just go ahead and swap to a trans that's much less likely to fail with my driving habits.

Re: And bang....
You and I have a different definition of powershifting.
Lo1dakota, thanks for the ride, sounded pretty good!
