So I'm sitting here deciding what to do with my 89. Its basically 500rwhp, just not tuned. That, and I sold my tremec 600(which shifted like crap) to help buy my 93 cobra a little over a year ago. Since then I tossed in a factory replacement flywheel, clutch, and its original t5. I've been driving it more and more recently as its only about 2-3 miles each way to campus. I've been thinking more and more about the fact I need to get another tremec under her. Just this evening, it hit me. I have this t5z sitting here I picked up for free due to a blown 3rd gear. Why not get it rebuild(should be less than $500), toss in a mid level clutch, and be done with it. If I blow it up a year from now, oh well. Better to do that, then blow $1500 on a new trans setup, have it shift like crap, and then break it.
So, I need this t5z rebuilt. Someone at a local forum said they can do it, but the cost depends on what I need. Any guesses? It was under a 450rwhp car, and mid way through 3rd at WOT, I am told 3rd gear blew out. So, I know I at least need a new third gear. What else should be replaced since its getting rebuilt?
I can tear it apart and get pics if someone tells me how to do it. I could just start removing bolts, and yanking on things, but I don't know if thats the best idea.
