Well, I'm off the road for a bit. I was going down the highway, and I went to down shift and it wouldn't come out of 5th. With a bit of swearing and convincing I got it to third and now it won't come out at all. I hobbled the car home in third so once again I avoided a tow truck. I know that I probably bent the shifter forks or something, but I just thought that I would ask to see if anyone had the same prob, and if there is a heavy duty rebuild kit for these trannys. I know that a tremec would be the better way to go but money is tight right now and 5g canadian is not in the budget. Thanks in advance

Well, I know you dont want to hear this, but get a tremec. I can guarantee that you will, in the end, spend more fixing what you have than you would if you bought a Tko. I went through two t5's before I changed to a tremec, and I wish I would have done it sooner. Good luck,
Ted

I've got a TKO you can have for $1100. Only has 1000 babied miles on it since I have yet to get my car complete enough to really race. I want to step up to the new TKO for $1650. If I keep looking I may find the extra shaft yoke I have, but dont quote me on that.
