I am running a stock 5.0 hooked up to a world class T-5. Last night I made a fourth to third shift to pass someone and basically blew up third gear. It went into third just fine until I let out the clutch under power and heard a noticeable pop and it kicked out of gear. Now it sounds like a rock tumbler in all gears and if I put it back in third it’s an even louder rock tumbler with no gear (car won't go).
I have had friends that have shredded third gear on the way up but my tranny sounds a little different. For what it is worth I have a Hurst short throw shifter with positive stop bolts and I have no problems like this before. The transmission use to have a lot more power put to it when I had a supercharged set up and it held together fine ( maybe the stress is finally catching up ).
Any ideas? I don't want to dump a lot of money into this right now so I am thinking a used transmission or rebuild may be the way to go. Does anyone know of any sources for such items? I have been told that standard rebuild kits do not come with a counter shaft and they is the expensive part, so with that I am thinking I may go with a used one of a mustang that is being parted out.
Input?
