Well, it cost me 1500 bux total for a rebuild kit (170) and the gear set w/26 spline input shaft 1st thru 3rd gear and their heavy duty countershaft (950) new stock 5th gear(100) and (250) for labor. Got it rebuilt locally by a shop that deals wit mostly performance stuff. Anyways, I must say its not harder to shift than a stock T-5 and its not really that loud. First thru third is about half as loud as reverse sounds on a stock tranny. Fifth sounds like a stock T-5 (but it has a stock 5th gear so that would be logical) and fourth is still silent (since it is direct drive). I am still breaking in the new clutch disc but after that well see how it holds up at the track.... If anyone has any questions let me know. But nobody really runs this kit here so I figured that for those who may consider this kit just remember I'm the guy that has one.
