A few places offer rebuild kits for T5's, and I was curios if anyone has ever done one. It just feels sloppy and I would like to be able to use reverse without holding the trans in 5th to slow down the gears. I mean under 300 bucks and I get syncros, bearings, seals and other such parts. Is it a pain, or worth spending the time and effort. Since the trans will be out for a spec II clutch, I figured a rebuild was in order. I have taken apart a C3, so I assume that a T5 is easier.

Thanks for your help, todd.

I would go to www.ddperformance.com they have all kinds of kits, see if any have exactly what you want. I would also get the video about rebuilding a t5 it gives you step by step it is very good.

See http://www.ttcautomotive.com/English/onlineorder/product.asp to download a FREE service manual for T5 or Tremec 3550
You will need the Adobe Acrobat viewer which is also a free download – http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

See http://www.ddperformance.com/index2.htm for parts
OR
http://www.hanlonmotorsports.com/

A T5 rebuild kit with syncros, bearings and other small parts costs about $160-$180. It does not include any gears or shafts.

There is a video on how to rebuild your T5 or Tremec. If http://www.hanlonmotorsports.com/ are out of stock see http://cartapes.com. It costs less than $20, and is worth every penny of it.

I did a Tremec 3550 rebuild, and it wasn't that difficult. The video was an immense help, and I would recommend viewing it. At $20, it will give you an opportunity to look and decide for yourself if you think that it is something you want to try to do.

Do you still have that video - i'd like a copy if you could. Even though it is only $20, i'd like to see how how detailed it is. I rebuild automatics as a hobby, try to stay performance oriented, but the manuals I have not messed with to much.
