I am in the process of gathering parts for a aod - t5 swap. I have a tranny that needs to be rebuilt. It grinds from first to second i was told and eveything else is ok. I was wondering what rebuild kit to buy. There is a master and regular im guessing. I see both on ebay and ddperformance has one for 150 so im guessing its a master. Which do i need? Should i tear it down first to find out? Im gonna get the video b4 i start tearing it apart tho thanks

The trans in my '93 LX was doing the same thing because of the 2nd gear syncro.

I got a core form a buddy and sent it to Liberty for them to build up for me. I took about a month, but it is much stronger than any other T-5 out there and only cost me $681.00 shipped.

Do it yourself man. Its fun and you learn alot. If you have a good video its not hard at all. You need some special tools but its not bad. I got the D&D rebuild kit for my tranny and it has all you need as long as you dont need any new gears or sliders.

How much TQ can Liberty's gearset handle? I want to stick with the T-5, but the M-7003-Z's 330 ft./lbs. rating is a bit too small. Perhaps the Liberty's will suffice, I'm looking for at least 375 ft./lbs. Is there any other kits out there that will provide that level? I know of the G-Force, but that's more than I need, and costs more as well.
