Woohoo!

Here's my tranny timeline and woes.

- Had the leaky AOD in my 86 rebuilt with all hi po parts. Shop screwed up and tranny burned up the clutches after 500 miles. No warranty since I supplied the parts.

-Got pissed and decided to covert to 5spd.

-Bought a "100 mile" T-5 on ebay for 550 and the guy never delivered. Took two months tracking him down and threatening to call the police to get my money back.

-Got my money back.

-Bought a rebuilt "performance" T-5 from TX Motorsports for $900 and 3rd gear self-destructed on a 5K shift at only 600 miles.

-Finally bought a TKO600. No more tranny woes. The thing simply dominates.

The moral of my story as far as 5spds go: "Do it right the first time and you'll save yourself a lot of aggravation."

Get a Tremec. You can say that was my frist mod and I'am glad it was.
