USE CAUTION!! AMP is in the business of ripping people off and selling bad products. do an internet search on amp. way to many complaints of rip offs. even managed to rip a state out of 30 thousand dollars! i know people localy in pheonix and they say they don't get local business anymore because of sceams! be carefull.
i used local junk yards, ebay, and D&D performance to do my swap. started with a t-5 swap then decided to go with tko-500. total- $2200
if amp's complete kit isn't the way to go as a lack of customer respect, or more simply put the chance of being ripped off, can we put together a complete parts list here to make sure no one forgets something incidental when intalling the t-5. as far as answering badingle's original post, he just wants to make sure he gets a complete list and the best way to get them. so... i'd say the first reasonable step would be to make sure the list is complete before anyone goes out and buys parts. plus, considering amp's kit has all stock parts, it can be kind of pricey once you add the clutch kit, adj. cable and quadrant and aftermarket shifter which are all popular mods.
do a search for my username and the word swap in this forum. i have put together the list of necessary parts more than once. as far as amp goes, the only problem i had was that they accidentally sent me a 4.6L flywheel. 2 phone calls and a week later, i had a 5.0L flywheel at my door. like i already said though, maybe i was just lucky.
