Dont even talk about reverse. It sounds like Im driving a RC car in reverse.

i just rebuilt my 95 t-5 and all gears whine.let me shed a tad bit of light on this that i learned from astro performance.if you rebuild your trans like i did and change some gears out its hard to match up gear material...i.e some of the gears are a lower or higher alloy than others and there for cause whining,and some times if the gears have a real shine where they mesh..that will cause it to whine also.yes its normal for our trans to whine..i kinda like it.its very audible from outside my car and everyone thinks i have a vortech......god it funny when i pop the hood.

I too just swapped my auto for a t-5, and was a little weary about the whine. After a while though, i forgot about it.

no problem, for those who are interested in rebuilding their t-5 by them self hanlon motorsports has a very detailed dvd for about 20 bucks so you can avoid paying the outrageous cost of something you can do on your own.

Does it whine this bad?? YouTube - t5 transmission whine
Thats my car after installing a rebuilt tranny.
