Well I have had the tranny checked and everything looked fine. The guy said he thought the reverse lever might have been sticking. He worked got it going good. Then I put it in yesterday and Whalah still no reverse. Anyone know what the crap is wrong with this. Also where can I buy a rebuild Zspec T5? Thank for the help

Do you have an adjustable shifter? If so, it might be adjusted wrong, either that or perhaps somebody put the wrong shifter in it. (like one for a Tremec) Or the guy lied to you....

Its a four banger tranny that came in the car. (WHich was a four banger when i got it) I was hoping it would work. Appearantly it doesn't. I am trying to decide if I want to get a hanlon kit to change it over to z spec WC or just buy a WC from ebay or maybe summit.

Ah. I didn't mean to imply that the "guy" did lie, I just threw it out there as a possibility. You'd said "guy" vs. friend, so I figured it'd be worth mentioning. It seems strange that it would work out of the car, but not in it.....

Used? Other than Mustang Parts Specialties, not really. You can try www.car-part.com for a stock one though, or D&D in MI for a new world class t-5. I got one from them last year for $900 for my wife's GT.
