Drivetrain T5 broke, looking for recommendations

How much do you want to spend here?

A T-5Z will be your cheapest option, and a direct swap, but at a bit over $2K you aren't going to really get much more torque-holding capbility over your previous 3.35 WC trans. I can't even recommend an aftermarket builder because those also seem to be dropping like flies (re: astro performance)

If this was a pure automatic, i would say a 4r70W gearset swapped AOD might be the way to go, but sounds like a manual transmission would be the right fit for your car.

With that said, TKX or T-56Magnum. It's a more involved swap as now you need a new bellhousing (for the TKZ) and new clutch, crossmember, etc. Prob in the $4K+ range for TKX (i haven't priced out a full swap myself yet) and $5K+ for the T-56 kits





If it was me, i'd go TKX
