Why are all T-5 trannys garbage?

becasue baby jesus wants them to be.

My experience with the T5 has been great.

I had a HCI Procharged 95GT with 35K on it that I had down the track about 45+ times and heavy abuse on the street with a stock T5 and Centerforce clutch. The key to it's survival, I never powershifted, and never never missed a gear.

I had a stock 92GT with 100K on it all original, and that T5 was great too.

My 91 notch's T5 is great too. I converted the car, so originally it was bad in 2nd and 4th gears, but that thing had 135K on it, and the donor car was involved in a big rear end collision. The driveshaft and rear end was ripped out from the body, so that might have had something to do with it. I had it rebuilt, and for two years and about 5-6K it's been great as well.

I wish my Cobra had a T5 because the two T45's in there gave me nothing but problems. At least the T5 comes off the bell housing in about 30 minutes or less. The T45, you gotta pull the transmission with the bell and I have L/T's so that sucks.

5.0 and Super Fords just beefed a T5 with HD gears and parts, the picture comparisons were outta this world. They said it's ready for 600+HP.

Mine have all been great too, they are just rated at 300ft lbs of torque and that's what the 5.0 puts out stock.

It's kinda like Hyper pistons, if you treat them fairly they will hold for awhile. If you beat on it, ****'s gonna break.

Build a better one.

no idea

My first fox had about 80,000 miles on it when I sold it and the tranny had no issues, no griding or anythiing.

My current fox has 90,000 on it and no issues, no grinding. I wouldn't say I abuse it, but I'm not exactly nice to it either.

My 204K 89 T5 shifts much better than my 80K 02 3650.
