Where can I buy a rebuild kit for a non world class t5? Can I use a world class rebuild kit with new bearings thus turning the NWC into a WC? The reason I ask is because I got a NWC for free. My current t5 wont go into second gear wheather i chewed up a blocking ring or wiped out the gear entirely. So I was gonna use this other tranny to get me by for a bit untill I can rebuild the good t5 and get a clutch and so on and so forth. The reason I have to rebuild the NWC is due to a bad third gear crunch from a synchro. I have yet to positively determine if the spare is indeed a NWC but judging by the bearing cap to the lower right of the bearing retainer its the NWC because it is not stamped timken.

Curious....by why wouldn't you build up your current T5 instead? Order the rebuild kit in advance and build it when you pull it out of the car. I wouldn't sink dime one into a NWC T5 personally.

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

See http://www.hanlonmotorsports.com/ or http://www.ddperformance.com for parts

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

http://www.hanlonmotorsports.com/ also has a video on how to rebuild your T5 or Tremec. It costs about $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.

Download the manual for free and spend the $20 or so for the video. Then decide for yourself.

Well the reason I decided to freshen up the new tranny is so that I can swap in a working tranny on a sunday afternoon so I can continue to drive the car. In the meantime I would collect a clutch flywheel rebuild the Wc t5 to hold substantial power. All without having the car down for a week or two. Im already in the process of a major overhaul on this car so im trying to think economically while still doing things right.
