Hey guys, I've toasted 2 fully rebuilt T5's in less than 6 months. And I have no idea how! Its turning into a really bad and expensive nightmare. The car is bone stock and is only putting out 180hp and 230lbs to the wheels "had it put up on a dyno". But so far i've snapped the mainshaft and killed the 2nd gear cluster or whatever. I dont power shift, side step the clutch, never missed a gear, or row the gears all too fast. But the guy that did the tranny isnt going to warrenty it because he said its been "abused" but only 2nd gear is bad the rest of the tranny is fine. For about a month the car has been harder than hell to shift into any gear and i took it too him. He said that because its cold outside the tranny isnt warmed up and so thats why its hard. Now that him being the "pro" i was like well whatever, considering i had too jam it into gear each time but he drove my car and said "there is nothing wrong with it". So 8 hours after picking up the car from the shop, i pull out and blow 2nd gear "under normal driving". I'am now really screwed i'm having a Ford Racing tranny installed tomorrow but i'm really pissed because i didnt purposly kill the tranny and am really in debt now!!. "i'll post pics of the damage on my website"
