So I just sold my notch after putting a brand new king cobra clutch KIT in it, $350 T5 with 45k on it that shifted perfect, and a $500 brand new rear end and Moser axles...Not to mention the fact that the car pulled like a rape date FOR what was done to it, AND it had nitrous.
Get in my 86 GT, 1st day out...Great car, really nice, body is great, car looks mint...Too bad it keeps popping out of 2nd on me though WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK T5's, WORST FUCKIN TRANNY EVER...PUT THEM IN A FUCKIN HONDA
I have a t-5 out of a 91 GT so it will handle more torque than your 86 t-5 will. I'm looking for 400 with short throw shifter and bell housing . 350 for t-5 and either bell housing or shifter . 300 for just the t-5 . Oh... and it only has 85 k on it .
i cant understand for the life of me why people have such big problems with T-5s ...do you think that maybe the tranny had a poor life before you got ahold of it ?i have had handfull of rebuilt ones (guy i know rebuilt them not Joey Mustang at the corner shop) and everyone shifted fine never blew up and i have had Nos and have had blowers on them .....but maybe i got lucky

I agree! The T-5's are a great tranny and will hold up under some pretty good power for a while. They are even easy to rebuild. If his tranny is popping out of 2nd gear Then he needs a rebuild with a new 2nd gear and a 1-2 slider. Around $500.00 bucks will get you a rebuild kit and a gear and slider. If you can do it yourself you can save money on laber and also get a learning experience.
