I dunno about you guys and your T-5's not lasting. I guess driving style plays a major role, but my car's got over 132,000mi. and my tranny is showing no signs of wear. My car is basically stock if that means anything but has gone through 3 previous owners. I don't powershift but have thrown some abuse at it like occasional downshifts on the highway and a few 0-85+mph sprints, layin rubber down. On the stock clutch too, from my knowledge.
