Help! I need a tranny and have ?'s Reply #15 – September 03, 2010, 11:45:51 AM Anybody that says the 4cyl T5 can live behind a V8 will not get my business.The gearing just isn't conducive to a long life behind a V8, not to mention first gear's vitually useless, and the overdrive ratio will kill the milage behind a V8.Sort of like the guy on Omaha's craigslist who bought an 84 SVO and did a 351 swap to it. Kept saying in his for sale ad that the SVO T5 was stronger than the V8!? WTF, some people are just ignorant. Quote Selected

Help! I need a tranny and have ?'s Reply #18 – September 03, 2010, 08:17:06 PM I'd only be willing to let go of one. I do like to keep spares handy for myself. I'll pm you a price. If worse comes to worse and your trans takes a complete dump before thanksgiving, I could deliver for gas money. T5's fit quite nicely in the trunk of the TC. Quote Selected

I need a tranny and have ?'s Reply #22 – September 22, 2010, 09:54:51 PM That is Dans T5 shop he is one of the best here in the KC area and there are several people that I know that are running his rebuilt t5's that run in the 10's and 11's. He is pricy but the parts that he puts into his rebuilds are far better than what a stock new T5 would be Quote from: ThunderbirdSport302;334697Graham, there's an ole boy up in Kansas City that rebuilds T5's...always has an ad on CL....I think I've even got his # if you want me to text it...?

He is pricy but the parts that he puts into his rebuilds are far better than what a stock new T5 would beI can pick up a T-5Z for $1300, brand spankin new. Throw in $150 for shipping and your still only looking at $1450. And there are no used parts in it. NONE.His ad says he runs an 068 gear set in his transmissions. Go ask him what he wants to build one with the 070 Zspec aftermarket gear set, and also convert the main shaft to a cobra style pocket bearing. Both of these come standard on the T-5Z. I'm not saying he can't rebuild a T-5, as obviously he can. I'm just saying there are more economically viable alternatives to his high performance rebuilds. Quote Selected
