I hate t5's
 

I broke yet another t5. Im so sick of them ive decided to go ahead and put a c4 in it. So much for gas mileage.

whats wrong with a t56? btw, your not Papa Smirf are you? your truck looks familiar.....

t5's a weak they are in the 6 cylinder camaro. break easy , The t56 is a beast on the other hand though

It is a ford, a T56 for the rustang is more than he has right now.


I have had T5s last behind 500 FWHP in stock form with no issues. But stock clutch discs and radials go a long way, but then again, some people think my car is a freak with stock trans and rear....was...


No, Papa smurf would probably never post here.



Still havnt removed my T5 from my 89 Daniel, when i do i will call you so we can take it apart. Might have to drive it for now since the 700R in my 86 TA started fucking up today:(

im not waisting my money for a t 56 in a crap ass ford.

nah man im not papa smurf. not even close. but are trucks do look alot alike.

damn zane hurry up with that tranny. ive been waiting to see wats up with it.

T5's suck ass. that's about all I can say.

trust me i know. this is my 6th one to break. automatic is headed my way...

Broke 2 T5's when I had my turbo n2o 300zx. Pieces of shit.

How about a Tremec?

Ill be a muther f...

Wife needs to drive it with 4 gears for now to get to work till i get a stall and 700R for the 86....:(

I have a tremec 3550, let me know if you want me to see if my buddy wants to sell it.

nice of you to rejoin us losers, ford guys finally start showing there true slow colors or what:judge:

Zones i figured he wasent Smirf i figured id ask though, glad to know your keeping up with that side of town lol.

OP, pretty sure ive still seen your truck though, you ride through kingwood every once in a while?

junkyard trannys FTW!! did it like 4 times in highschool with th350's

I've got a t5 built to hell for sale for $600 I just sold my motor to go lsx, let me know.

I would shell the extra 300 for a used T56 that would last way longer, T5 built or not, the shafts are too close together, it is one of the main problems. The"center line" as i think it is referred to.

T5's can be built to handle some abuse. I have customers making well over 400 hp to the rear wheels with modified stock T5's. You can also install an Astro A5 gear kit into a T5 which is pretty stout as well. The key to making one live is using a soft hitting clutch and do not use them with drag radials.

C4's are not a bad way to go either if its a track car. They pretty much such on the street though. Another good option is a face plated Tremec. I have seen some used ones floating around lately. People are hurting for cash so there are some deals to be had.

Don at Lethal Performance here in San Antonio has a rebuilt Trans King C4 for sale. He just had it freshend up locally and called me yesterday wanting to find out how much to ask for it. PM me if you want his number.

i made close to 500 at the wheels with my t5 with no problems with a centerforce dfx clutch and et streets, G-force makes a badass rebuild kit for them if you wanna go that route.

Yep, i was making 500 FWHP or so with a 383 on my stock T5 in my 89, so you can say i was past the 300 ft lb stock capacity rating. Lasted thru even more than that before a stock L98 on a 100 shot killed 3rd gear.

lol it didnt sound too good last wed. lol good luck with the auto
