that sucks man. my tranny blew about 8 months or so ago. it really sucked. i was lucky to get one for $500 locally installed cause my dad knows alot of people.

check summit.com, 50resto.com, mustangsunlimited.

even try buying a rebuilt. my tranny and engine are rebuilt.

I will second the D and D performance. There new T-5 is 999. It features heavy duty parts than stock and a steel bearing reatainer. That is the best way to go. I can't speak for myself on my T-5 because I had mine fixed. But I did by my T-45 from them 2 years ago. Still is holding up behind my Vobra.

My trans went out 2 months ago and I havent been able to decide how I want to repair it yet. The D&D tranny that is mentioned in the 3rd and 4th posts, is that tranny stonger than the world class because it was one of the options I was considering. I was also thinking about saving some mor money for a G-Force T-5, because of the power that Im making now is still with the stock heads, and want to get better heads and run more boost later on. Sorry I didnt mean to hijack the thread its just that I dont want to have to spend money more than once on a trans.

Then just save some more and do a tremec or g-force. If I were you I would consider a TKO

well, at first I thought it wasn't a typo, because he has a Vortech on it. So, Vortech+Cobra=Vobra? Then I remembered the C is next to the V on the keyboard....

the WC HD t5 is rated at 330 ft/lbs, and i have 317 to the wheels, so i dont want another t5 cuz i think i'll break it. How can i tell if a used tranny is rebuilt or still good?
