i think my t-5 is on the way out.....

i usally have no problems with it besides annoying gear whining. but when i put the car in reverse it made a very unhealthy noise, only when i put it inverse, and i know its the the gears in the rear, i know the diff between them and the noise is defintely coming from the trans. if it is on thw way out should i rebuild it or just get a new transmission?

Mine makes a horrible noise in reverse. I'm starting to wonder if they have straight cut reverse gears. i know they have no syncros on the reverse part either.

Does it grind going into reverse? If so thats normal. Reverse doesn't have a synchro, so wait a sec before you engage the gear.

That`s true,but theres a trick.When you want reverse,shift into first then go to reverse.
It gets rid of that grinding sound.,try it and you`ll see what I mean.

reverse is a straight cut gear so i am sure it makes noises

well i put in 5th the reverse so in wont grind, but once the car starts to rol back and my foot is off the clutch the niose really starts to kick in

Is it just whining, or is it a grinding-type noise? It could be your throwout bearing.
